Destaco 802-U pneumatic hold down clamp, also known as toggle clamp, is designed to fix and hold down workpieces in place. It is ideal for quick clamping applications in the metalworking, woodworking, aerospace, automotive, and food & packaging industries. This pneumatic clamp is equipped with an air-actuated cylinder with an input port for connecting to the compressed air source. It comes integrated with an over centre toggle action linkage combined with a pneumatic cylinder to provide a device that is easily adaptable for a wide variety of operations. This pneumatic hold down clamp is completely self-contained & requires just a single pressure source. The clamp unit is sensor ready for both round and T slot style sensors, and features an in-built flow restriction system. This eliminates the need for external flow controls, thus ensuring smooth clamping. Further, it features an enclosed design for MIG & spot welding in dirty environments. The pneumatic toggle clamp has a non-pivoting cylinder that can easily be hard-piped into fixtures and can deliver a maximum clamping pressure of 145 psig at temperatures ranging between -14 & 194 degrees Fahrenheit. It is integrated with hardened bushings & pins at all pivot points for long service life and is capable of withstanding loads up to 200 lb. Destaco 802-U clamp comes integrated with U bar clamping arms for keeping workpieces safely in place, a magnetic piston ring for accurate position sensing and an ergonomic handle grip for utmost operator comfort & reduced hand fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?
A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold down or straight line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self contained and require only a pressure source hook up.
Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps during their rebuilding?
A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC is perfect for use with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease should be used with pneumatic cylinder seals.
Q. What is the holding capacity of a clamp?
A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or similar manufacturing processes.
Q. What does the red colour of Destaco clamp handles signify?
A. There is no such significance of the red colour of the clamp handle, as it only depicts a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle easily & quickly.
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 generally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors including spindle position (clamping arm length), cylinder area, cylinder bore and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
