Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer manual clamps with similar specifications as Destaco 381-SS pull action latch clamp in other variants?

A. Raptor Supplies also offers similar clampo variants, such as Destaco 381 latch clamp having steel construction for strength and durability for applications requiring rough usage.

Q. Is Destaco 381-SS latch clamp available in different hook lengths?

A. Raptor Supplies can deliver similar latch clamps having different hook lengths, such as 25mm longer than standard length (381-SS-M-25), 50 mm longer than standard length (381-SS-M-50) and 100 mm longer than standard hook length (381-SS-M-100).

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps have a handle to operate the tool, a clamping arm to act as a contact point between the work item & the clamp and a base to attach the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is moved for creating a force parallel to the base to hold the work items.

Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Many of the Destaco manual clamps come with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to act as a secondary locking mechanism and ensure the over-centre toggle lock condition of the clamps. This mechanism is essential when fixtures of the clamp are in motion, in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It offers an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.

Q. Which grease is recommended to be used with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

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 the equipment or a sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.

Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
