DESTACO 827-U Toggle Clamp, 3.27 Inch Clamp Arm, 600 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 827-U pneumatic hold down action clamp is designed for holding / clamping a workpiece in place without using hands. Destaco pneumatic toggle clamp is an ideal choice for assembly & welding operations in metalworking & woodworking applications. This hold down clamp features dual mounting surfaces for enabling vertical / horizontal installation depending upon the application requirement. Its magnetic ring piston enables precise piston position sensing, thereby ensuring accurate clamping. This toggle clamp has a pneumatic cylinder that features built in flow control to ensure smooth clamping throughout the operation. It features a U bar style clamping bar that is designed for preventing the workpiece from slipping or moving mid operation. Its flanged base features two pairs of mounting holes and screws that can be used to fasten the clamp on a flat surface / workbench. In situations, where the clamp needs to be removed or relocated, it can be easily removed just by unscrewing its screws using a simple screwdriver. Destaco 827 Series clampsare also available in solid style clamping arm variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a pneumatic toggle clamp?

A. Destaco pneumatic hold down toggle clamps are pneumatically operated clamps that are used for various applications including welding, woodworking, tensioning devices and assembly & testing operations.

Q. Does the brand offer pneumatic hold down toggle clamps in other styles?

A. Yes, apart from Destaco 827-U, U bar style pneumatic hold down clamp, the brand also offers solid bar style pneumatic clamps (Destaco 817-S pneumatic clamp).

Q. How do vertical hold down toggle clamps work?

A. Pneumatic hold down action clamps, such as Destaco 827-U clamp, feature a pneumatic cylinder with piston type configuration, an air supply line is fed to the clamp cylinder through an input port and a hands free clamping operation is achieved by adjusting the input air supply.

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

A. The holding force or holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during any other manufacturing process.

Q. What does clamping force mean?

A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a 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. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel clamps are also available.

Q. Does the brand offer pneumatic hold down clamp in other configurations?

A. Yes, users can also choose from a wide variety of light & medium duty pneumatic clamps that are available in a range of configurations, styles and constructions (aluminium / steel).
