Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 620-M manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers a similar clamp variant having 3/8-16 imperial threaded plunger (Destaco 620) for secure installation of imperially threaded spindle.
Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?
A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a handle / lever to push or pull a plunger against the workpiece and prevent it from moving mid-operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping operation.
Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?
A. The term "holding capacity" or "holding force" is the capability of the clamp to hold equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other manufacturing procedures.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?
A. The red coloured handles alert the operator about the location of the operating handle and also indicate the time when he should grab it.
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 greases like Mobil XTC are 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 removing.
Q. Are Destaco clamps load-rated for hoisting and / or lifting applications?
A. No, Destaco clamps are not designed for hoisting or lifting applications, keeping in view safety & security of operation.
