Straight line action clampsuse the movement of a plunger along its axis to hold objects securely. These clamps can be locked either in both extended & retracted positions or in extended position only. They are ideal for holding workpieces against a vertical surface in testing, fixturing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications. Destaco 6015 Seriesclamps have compact design for use in confined spaces. They can be locked in both extended & retracted positions for use as both pull & push clamps. Destaco 6015-R straight line action clamp is made of steel for structural strength and preventing regular wear & tear due to harsh usage. It features a round plunger with imperial internal threads for quick fastening of imperial threaded spindles. This clamp is equipped with a T handle that falls below the mounting plane to lock the clamp in the retracted position. It features Toggle Lock Plus feature that acts as a secondary locking mechanism & prevent accidental opening during the operation. This clamp has flanged base for installation on a flat surface / workpiece. Raptor Supplies offers this manual clamp in variants having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance; metric threaded plunger for accommodating metric spindle assemblies. We also supply a similar clamp without Toggle Lock Plus mechanism for use in applications that do not require secondary locking.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 6015-R clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers this manual clamp in variants having M6 (metric) threaded plunger (6015-MR) for fitting metric threaded spindle assemblies. We also supply a similar clamp without Toggle Lock Plus mechanism (6015) for applications that do not require secondary locking.
Q. How do straight line action clamps work?
A. Straight line action clamps are manually operated using levers or handles for pushing clamp plungers against the workpieces and holding them securely.
Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?
A. Destaco featuresToggle Lock Plus feature in many manual clamps that acts as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamp stay in the over-centre toggle lock condition. This mechanism is useful when fixtures of the clamp are inverted, in motion or in a vibratory environment. It provides an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.
Q. Are Destaco clamps corrosion resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to resist wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?
A. The red coloured handles alert the operator of the location of the operating handle and when should he grab it.
Q. Does Destaco offers manual clamps in handle colours other than red?
A. Yes, Destaco can supply manual clamps having different coloured handles according to customer requirements. Destaco also offers special grips without Destaco logo upon request.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?
A. A coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC is recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.
Q. Can the red handles of the Destaco clamps be removed?
A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by simply sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removal.
