DESTACO 847-S-RC Replacement Pneumatic Hold Down Clamp, 1000 lb Holding Capacity

Destaco 847-S-RC pneumatic hold down clamp is ideal for holding down workpieces in the automation, aerospace, food & packaging, and automotive industries. This clamp is equipped with a magnetic piston ring that accurately detects piston position during clamping operation. Destaco 847-S-RC pneumatic hold down clamp features an enclosed design, making it ideal for MIG & spot welding in dirty environments. Destaco 847-S-RC pneumatic toggle clamp has a non pivoting cylinder that can be hard piped into fixtures, and is compatible with 4 mm or 6.5 x 5 mm sensors. This pneumatic hold down clamp employs an air actuated cylinder for applying clamping pressure & holding the workpiece in place. This portable pneumatic clamp is self contained, requires only a pressure source for safety and allows economical use on short run jobs with temporary fixturing. This pneumatic hold down clamp is actuated by a double acting pneumatic cylinder having a maximum clamping pressure of 145 psig. Destaco 847-S-RC pneumatic hold down clamp has a solid bar clamping arm configuration for easy attachment of the arm extension and allows bar opening up to 94 degrees. This pneumatic hold down clamp is capable of holding loads up to 1000 lb and can be operated at temperatures ranging from -14 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a pneumatic hold down toggle clamp work?

A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.

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. What does the clamp's holding capacity signify?

A. The holding capacity or holding force represents the capability of a clamp for holding down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during similar 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. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

Q. How much pressure is a toggle clamp capable of?

A. Destaco hold down toggle clamps apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms. You can see the clamping force on the packaging itself, which is specified in Newton (N). Use this information with the size of the toggle clamp to work out the degree of pressure that the tool will have to exert on a piece of wood. The larger the piece of wood, the greater the pressure required.
