DESTACO 506-MLBLSC Vertical Hold Down Toggle Locking Clamp, 5000 lb Capacity

Destaco 506-MLBLSC weldable vertical hold down clamp is designed to apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms. It is equipped with an ergonomically designed handle to minimise strain and pain of the user, while working. This 506-MLBLSC weldable vertical toggle clamp offers the flexibility to position the base, clamp arm & handle and weld them in any desired position to suit different applications. It comprises accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings that ensure maximum function and excellent performance. The clamp is virtually maintenance free as it requires less lubrication to keep the clamp in excellent condition, and can adapt to workpieces of different heights. The clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps when securing material to a work surface. It holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged. This lever handle engages & releases the clamping head, which holds a workpiece onto a worktable and is used in welding, assembling and heavy duty production applications. This 506-MLBLSC weldable hold down toggle clamp features high clamping ability that reduces necessary fixtures for a particular application and is capable of handling loads up to 5000 lb. It has high exerting force and flexible adjustability that are useful when working with materials of varying thicknesses. The fixed design of this clamp secures & loosens workpieces without moving the clamp itself and is equipped with a locking spring clip to secure the clamp handle in the open position. Additionally, Destaco 506-MLBLSC clamp enables the user to undertake an action without being worried by the frequent movement of a workpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does holding capacity signify 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 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. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

Q. How do you adjust a horizontal toggle clamp?

A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut (supplied with selected units for protection from abrasion, twisting or flexing).

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).
