DESTACO 371-M-25 Pull Action Latch Clamp, Flanged Base, 750 lb Load Capacity

Destaco 371-M-25 pull action latch clamp is well suited for latching, moulding & assembly operations in the automotive, aerospace, metalworking and food & packaging industries. This pull action latch clamp features a flanged base having threaded holes that allow the unit to be mounted to a worktable or flat surface. Destaco 371-M-25 pull action latch clamp helps in molding & securing closures for lids, doors & covers, and offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to a work surface. In addition, this pull action latch clamp helps in holding the clamp unit in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged & pressed down to reach the locked position, ensuring quick and fatigue less clamping operations. This clamp unit depends on 3 main components - a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, a handle for operating the tool 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 or vertically to create force parallel to the base and squeeze holding the items. This pull action latch clamp comes equipped with threaded J hooks (25 mm longer than standard hooks) for easy adjustments and features a patented thumb control lever for single handed operation. Destaco 371-M-25 pull action latch clamp is made of steel for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces and is capable of holding loads up to 750 lb.

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 force mean?

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

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

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.

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. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
