Straight line action clampsare suitable for moving their plunger along the axis using push / pull toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked either in two positions (extended and retracted) to act as both pull & push clamps or in only extended position to use them as push clamps. They are used for fixturing, testing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries. Destaco 604 manual clamp is equipped with a handle that pushes the round plunger against a workpiece to hold it in place. It has a flanged base & a threaded body for through hole mounting of the clamp. The clamp plunger features imperial internal threads for quick fastening of imperially threaded spindle. It has a compact design to increase ease of operation in confined spaces by reducing space requirement for clamp installation & usage. This manual clamp has steel construction for strength & durability and preventing bending / breaking under heavy loads.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 604 manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamps in a variant having stainless steel construction (604-SS). We also supply similar clamps with M8 metric plunger thread (Destaco 604-MM) for secure installation. For more variants related to Destaco 604 clamp, visit the Destaco 604 Series Clamps page on our website.
Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?
A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a handle / lever to push the plunger against the workpiece and prevent it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.
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 604-R straight line action clamp with Toggle Lock Plus feature having similar specifications as that of Destaco 604 manual clamp.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The term 'holding capacity' or 'holding force' indicates the capability of the clamp to hold down equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand & minimise wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
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.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?
A. Coupling grease like 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 of the Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by simply sliding them off. But some of the handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removing.
