Straight line action clampsare used to hold objects securely by moving the plunger along its axis using push / pull or straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked in both extended and retracted positions for use as both pull and push clamps. They are ideal for testing, fixturing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. Destaco 603-M clamp features a lever hand hole on its threaded body and a flanged base for easy mounting. It has a compact design to reduce space requirement for clamp installation & operation, and has high holding capacity as compared to its size. This Destaco 603-M straight line action clamp has metric internal threads for quick fastening of the plunger. It is made of steel for strength & durability and to prevent wear & tear caused due to abrasive environments.
Raptor Supplies also offers similar manual clamps in variants having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of the clamp & act as a secondary lock to ensure that the over-centre locking condition is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 603-M clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamps in variants having 5/16-18 (imperial) thread (603) and stainless steel construction (603-SS) for corrosion resistance. Destaco also supplies similar clamps with Toggle Lock Plus feature (603-MR) to prevent accidental opening of clamps. For more variants related to Destaco 603-M clamp, visit the Destaco 603 Series Clamps page on our website.
Q. How to choose the right straight line action clamp?
A. Destaco clamps have steel or stainless steel construction and are available in variants having flange, narrow flange, straight or solid base mounting style for easy installation. These clamps are available in varying holding capacities to denote the maximum external force that a clamp in the locked position can resist safely, without getting deformed permanently. Straight line action clamps also feature imperial or metric plunger threads for secure installation. The customers should choose clamps on the basis of distance travelled by plungers in their extended position.
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 integrates the Toggle Lock Plus feature in many manual clamps to act as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamps 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. Raptor Supplies can deliver Destaco 603-MR straight line action clamp with Toggle Lock Plus feature and specifications similar as that of Destaco 603-M manual clamp.
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.
