Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to choose a hold down straight line clamp?

A. While choosing a hold down clamp, one should consider the following requirements:

A.

• Holding capacity and how much force one will need to exert to achieve that
• What is the shape and size of the parts you need to hold, and whether they're uniform or variable
• Whether the clamp is ideal for temporary or permanent use
• Whether the environment designated for its use will affect the materials or operation of the clamp
• Safety factors to consider so as to prevent injury to the operator (Destaco offers models with a secondary lock as an additional safety feature)

Q. How does a push / pull toggle clamp work?

A. These clamps incorporate a sliding plunger that provides straight line clamping action. The plunger can be locked in either pulling or pushing direction for holding workpieces.

Q. Is it right to check the specifications?

A. Raptor Supplies recommends you to always check the specifications as it will help you to ascertain the toggle clamp capacity. The product specifications from the manufacturer consist of enough information about the throat depth and jaw opening. You can also ask our dedicated procurement team for an accurate guide.

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 sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.
