Straight line action clampsare used to move the plunger in the clamp along the axis using push / pull or straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked either in two positions (extended and retracted position), allowing them to act as both pull or push clamps or only in the extended position. They are ideally used for checking & welding fixtures, assembly & tensioning operations in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. Destaco 602 Series clampsfeature a lever handle that moves upwards or downward to lock the round sliding plunger in extended or retracted position for holding workpieces. These clamps feature a flanged base and a threaded body for through hole mounting. They have a compact design to minimise space requirement for clamp installation & usage, thereby increasing ease of operation in confined spaces. This Destaco 602 straight line action clamp has imperial internal threadings for quick fastening of the plunger. It further has steel construction for strength & durability and to prevent bending / breaking under heavy loads. Raptor Supplies can deliver similar manual clamps having stainless steel construction, providing corrosion resistance and with metric internal threading for secure clamping.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 602 clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamps in stainless steel construction (602-SS) for corrosion resistance. We also supplies similar clamps with M6 metric plunger thread (Destaco 602-MM) for secure installation.
Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?
A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a handle / lever to push a plunger against the workpiece and prevent it from moving mid-operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The term "holding capacity" or the holding force indicates the capacity of the clamp to hold down an equipment, workpiece or a sheet metal on the assembly line or during other manufacturing processes. It also denotes the maximum external force that a clamp in a locked position can resist safely without getting permanently deformed.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?
A. The red coloured handles alerts the operator about where the operating handle is and when should he grab it.
Q. Can the red handles of the Destaco clamps be removed?
A. Most of the Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by sliding them off. But some of the handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off to remove them.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to make them capable of withstanding & minimising wear & tear in harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring outdoor clamping.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?
A. Coupling greases like Mobil XTC are recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.
Q. Are Destaco clamps load-rated for hoisting and/or lifting applications?
A. No, Destaco clamps are not designed for hoisting or lifting applications.
Q. Does Destaco sell manual clamps in handle colours other than red?
A. Yes, Destaco can supply manual clamps in a wide range of coloured handles according to customer requirements. Destaco also offers special grips without Destaco logo upon request.
