Destaco 6015-MR straight line action clamp is the smallest of the Destaco solid base straight line action clamps. This straight line clamp features a low profile & compact design, and applies clamping force from the side to secure workpieces in applications having space constraints. It is ideal for applications such as metalworking and woodworking, requiring repetitive movements & clamp opening / closing. It is equipped with a lever handle that engages the plunger, which presses against a workpiece to hold it in place. The ergonomic handle is slanted forward to provide an adequate grip. It comes with a handle providing an opening angle of 139 degrees. Destaco 6015-MR straight line action clamp has a carbon steel body with black oxide finish and hardened plungers for durability. This straight line action clamp features through holes on the flanged base that allow the unit to be mounted to a worktable or flat surface. It can be locked in two positions, allowing the operator to use them as either push or pull clamps. This straight line action clamp is integrated with hardened steel pivot pins & bushings, and features robust construction for durability. It incorporates the Destaco Toggle Lock Plus feature to ensure that the over centre locking condition is maintained and clamps are protected against unintentional opening. Destaco 6015-MR straight line action clamp locks over the centre in both the extended and retracted positions, while the locking lever secures the clamp in the extended position only.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How does a straight line action toggle clamp work?
A. A straight line clamp incorporates a sliding plunger to provide straight line clamping action. The plunger can be locked in either pulling or pushing direction for holding workpieces.
Q. How do you adjust a toggle clamp?
A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut (supplied with the unit for protection from damage caused by abrasion, twisting or flexing).
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 equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. How do Destaco manual clamps work with, and benefit, fixture applications?
A. Destaco straight line action manual clamps securely hold a part into a fixture in a safe and ergonomic way. These quick acting clamps improve productivity and cycle times.
Q. What does clamping pressure mean?
A. The holding power of a straight line action clamp is a crucial factor to take into account before starting an application. The operator has to place the right amount of pressure on the workpiece while clamping. We suggest not to exceed the recommended pressure because it may tremendously damage your workpiece. In addition, too little weight is also not ideal.
