Straight line action clampsare ideal for moving a plunger along the axis of clamp using straight line toggle clamping action. These clamps can be locked either in both extended and retracted positions for using them as pull & push clamps or in only extended position to act as push clamps. They are used in fixturing, testing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding operations in automotive, customer goods, aerospace and food & packaging industries. Destaco 624 clamp features a lever handle to push the round plunger with imperial threads & spindle against a workpiece for holding it in place. The imperial internal threads in the plunger allow quick fastening of the imperially threaded, hex head spindle assembly. This clamp has a flanged base and a through hole on its threaded body for easy installation. It has a compact design to reduce space requirement for clamp operation, thereby increasing ease of use in confined spaces. This manual clamp has steel construction for strength and withstanding wear & tear caused due to abrasive environments. Raptor Supplies offers similar manual clamps in variants having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and Toggle Lock Plus mechanism for preventing accidental opening of clamps. We also deliver Destaco 624-MM clamp with metric threaded plunger for accommodating metric threaded spindle.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 624 manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers similar clamp variants having M10 metric plunger thread (Destaco 624-MM) for secure installation of metric threaded spindle. We also deliver Destaco 624-SS clamp having stainless steel construction to provide corrosion resistance in outdoor environment. For more variants related to Destaco 624 clamp, visit the Destaco 624 Series Clamps page on our website.
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 the equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?
A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a lever or handle for pushing the plunger against the workpiece and holding it 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 624-R straight line action clamp with Toggle Lock Plus feature and specifications similar to that of Destaco 624 manual clamp.
Q. Does the red colour of the handle signify anything?
A. The red coloured handles alert the user of the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
