DESTACO 5305-R Horizontal Toggle Clamp, 2.75 Inch Clamp Arm, 600 lb

Destaco 5305-R horizontal hold down clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces in metalworking facilities. This horizontal toggle clamp is an ideal choice for applications where there is a frequent requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. It features a solid bar clamping arm that is designed for securely holding down the workpiece, thereby preventing loosening & unwanted movement of the workpiece. The solid clamping arm is easily modifiable depending upon the application requirement. It is a Toggle Lock Plus enabled clamp that features a locking release lever for ensuring the over centre locking condition throughout the clamping operation. This clamp features hardened steel bushings & pivot pins for ensuring high impact strength. This manual hold down bar clamp is designed for ensuring a long life cycle when using standard clamping arms. It further has has carbon steel construction with black oxide finish for minimising damage / wear against abrasive conditions & outdoor environments. It comes with a flanged style base having a pair of mounting holes for enabling quick & secure installation on flat surfaces / workbenches. Destaco 5305-R horizontal toggle clamp is not recommended for checking closures, woodworking & machining applications. Destaco 5305 Series clampsare also offered in solid base and Toggle Lock Plus enabled variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a horizontal hold down clamp?

A. Destaco horizontal hold down clamps are meant for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench using a flat tip spindle or a solid clamping arm for use in various industrial applications.

Q. Does the brand offer horizontal hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

A. Yes, apart from this flanged base U bar variant, Destaco also offers solid base (Destaco 5305-B and Destaco 5305-BR) style horizontal clamps as well.

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

A. The holding capacity or the holding force represent the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.

Q. How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

A. Certain solid bar style clamping arm clamps are manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the solid arm against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. What is the recommended grease 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. This grease comprises high viscosity mineral base oil to provide stability against varying temparatures & extreme pressures. It also offers high resistance against wear / damage from corrosive environments.

Q. Does the red colour of the handle mean anything on Destaco clamps?

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.

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

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