Destaco 870-2 pneumatic clamp or pneumatic power clamp is designed for a variety of applications such as clamping, gripping, tensioning and locating metal sheets. It is ideal for the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This clamp is made of steel for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. The enclosed pneumatic clamp is designed with precision and is specifically intended for harsh welding environments that demand superior clamping power. This clamp is also integrated with hardened rivets & bushings at pivot points to fix, rotate & move the handle bar for the required work position. It operates on a maximum clamp arm pressure of 120 psi by offering holding torque of 192 ft-lb. It has a pneumatic cylinder with an input port for connecting to a source of compressed air. This power clamp is recommended for applications with varying workpiece thicknesses and features a clamp arm that is parallel to the clamp body in the locked position & has an opening angle of 112 degrees. Destaco 870-2 pneumatic power clamp can handle a maximum load of 2000 lb at temperatures ranging from -14 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be easily mounted on surfaces from front, rear or sides for easy & secure installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to choose the right straight line action clamp?
A. Destaco clamps have steel or stainless steel construction and are available in variants having flange, narrow flange, straight or solid base mounting style for easy installation. These clamps are available in varying holding capacities to denote the maximum external force that a clamp in the locked position can resist safely, without getting deformed permanently. Straight line action clamps also feature imperial or metric plunger threads for secure installation. Customers should choose clamps on the basis of distance travelled by plungers in their extended position.
Q. How to specify the right power clamp for a particular application?
A. The most important consideration is the size of the component that you're clamping, the amount of space available in the production process and what kind of access you need to have around the clamp. If you are clamping a very small component and you need to hold it close to the clamp, clearly a small clamp will be required. Secondly, one needs to consider the distance between the pivot point & the length of the clamp arm and the weight of the tooling. In addition, the user must also consider the amount of clamping force or holding force you need the clamp to apply.
Q. Why would you need a power clamp?
A. Destaco power clamps are specially designed for use in automated manufacturing processes where the requirement is to accurately clamp components repeatedly & quickly. They are ideal for applications where there is limited or no access to manually activate the clamp either because of space limitation (hence manual access isn't possible) or because the clamp is located remotely.
Q. Is it right to check the specifications?
A. By checking the specifications, you can ascertain the toggle clamp capacity, so it is a firm yes. The product specifications from the manufacturer consist of enough information about the throat depth and jaw opening. You can also ask our dedicated procurement team for an accurate guide.
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 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, such as 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 water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards for protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
