Destaco 5910 vertical hold down toggle locking clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces against flat surfaces / workbenches. It has carbon steel construction with black oxide finish to minimise damage / wear against abrasive conditions & outdoor environments. This toggle clamp is a suitable choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation. It comes with a solid bar style clamping arm for keeping the workpiece stationary throughout the operation while preventing it from loosening / slipping. Destaco 5910 vertical hold down toggle locking clamp is designed for ensuring a long life cycle when using standard clamping arms. Its clamping arm is constructed from high strength forged alloy steel for withstanding heavy loads. Destaco 5910 vertical hold down toggle locking clamp features hardened steel bushings & pivot pins for ensuring long life cycle. Destaco vertical hold down toggle locking clamp has a flanged base mounting style for enabling secure installation on flat surfaces / workbenches. Upon requirement, due to its flanged base, this straight line action clamp can be easily removed as well. However, this clamp is not recommended for machining, checking closures & woodworking applications. Destaco 5910 Series clampsare also offered in solid style base variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?
A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 5910 solid bar flanged base variant, the brand also offers solid base (Destaco 5905-B & Destaco 5915-B) vertical clamps as well.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. What does clamping force mean?
A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, such as cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?
A. The difference lies in the orientation of the clamp 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).
Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?
A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are heavy duty clamps which are specially designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.
Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?
A. Some solid bar style clamps, such as Destaco 5910, feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use 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. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.
