Product Details:

Destaco 344-R-M-50 pull action latch clamp mounts to work surfaces and holds workpieces together. The clamp has a lever that locks a rubber stopper against the work surface to secure objects tightly for drilling, welding, milling or woodworking applications. This clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C-clamps or spring clamps when securing material to a work surface. It needs little effort for locking & unlocking, and provides a pin connection that resists movement in different directions while allowing rotation of the clamp about its axis. Destaco 344-R-M-50 pull action latch clamp holds workpieces in place with a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged and is pressed down to reach the locked position. This latch clamp is equipped with a unique pivot & lever system for optimum precision while clamping and is capable of holding loads up to 2000 lb. Destaco pull action latch clamp comes with a flanged base with threaded holes for secure surface installation and has an ergonomic handle to ensure minimum operator fatigue and quick clamping operations. This closing clamp is supplied with threaded U hooks for easy adjustment, has steel construction to ensure structural rigidity & resist corrosion, and is suitable for holding and closing chamber doors, lids, covers & access doors. Destaco 344-R-M-50 pull action latch clamp is integrated with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to ensure that the over centre locking condition is maintained, thereby preventing accidental opening of clamps.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps depend on 3 main components - a handle for operating the tool, a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally for creating force parallel to the base and squeeze-holding the work items.

Q. What does clamping pressure mean?

A. The holding power of a toggle clamp is a crucial factor to take into account before starting an application. The operator has to place the right amount of pressure on the workpiece while clamping. We suggest not to exceed the recommended pressure because it may tremendously damage your workpiece. In addition, too little weight is also not ideal.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding force or the holding capacity signifies the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.

Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.
