DESTACO 695-1MBPLS Straight Line Action Clamp, Round Plunger, M16 Thread Size

Destaco 695-1MBPLS heavy duty plunger clamp or straight line action clamp is ideal for holding workpieces with the help of a plunger that can be moved along the axis using push / pull / straight line toggle clamping action. It can be locked in both extended & retracted positions for use as a pull or push clamp, or only in the extended position to be used as a push clamp. Destaco 695-1MBPLS clamp is ideal for repeated clamping / unclamping during testing, welding, fixturing, tensioning, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications. This clamp is equipped with a pre-loaded nut for locking the clamp against itself (when not under pressure) & preventing opening when mounted vertically. It also has an adjustable collet type bushing to eliminate plunger end movement due to repeated usage and is equipped with a round plunger having M16 metric threading. Additionally, it features precision clamping handles for high production efficiency and comes with a spring hold open device for preventing the clamp from accidental closing. This Destaco 695-1MBPLS clamp has a plunger with a flat surface to prevent rotational movement and allow offset piloting & holding. It has steel construction for structural rigidity & durability. It offers a maximum load capacity of 2400 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?

A. A straight line clamp incorporates a sliding plunger to provide straight line clamping action. The plunger can be locked in either pulling or pushing direction for holding workpieces.

Q. Are Destaco variable stroke straight line action clamps ideal for side loads?

A. These clamps are designed only for axial loads. To accomodate side loads, we would recommend an additional radial support for the plunger.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding capacity or holding force depicts the clamp's capability to hold down equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during manufacturing processes.

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors including cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?

A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.

Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
