Straight line action clampsuse the movement of their clamp plunger & the attached spindle to securely hold vertical workpieces in fixturing, testing, CNC machining, tensioning & plastic injection moulding operations that require repeated clamping and unclamping. These clamps can be locked either in both extended & retracted positions for use as pull & push clamps or in extended position only for use as push clamps. Destaco 95030Series clamps feature low profile & compact design for installation / operation in confined spaces and areas requiring minimum overhead clearances. These clamps have an ergonomic handle that falls below the mounting plane to lock the clamp in the retracted position. The handles are used to move the plungers along their axis. These clamps have a cast steel handle & base featuring black oxide finish to provide structural strength and prevent regular wear & tear. Destaco 95030 straight line action clamp is equipped with a round, metrically threaded plunger for quick attachment of a metric threaded spindle assembly. This clamp can be locked in both pulling & pushing directions for use as both pull & push clamps. It provides a maximum load capacity of 550 lb. This clamp has flanged base for quick mounting on horizontal surfaces / workpieces to support heavy duty clamping of workpieces. This manual clamp is also available in variants having load capacities of 1100, 1650 & 3960 lb on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 95030 latch clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers this Destaco manual clamp in variants having 1100 lb (95040), 1650 lb (95050) and 3960 lb (95060) maximum holding capacities.
Q. How do straight line action clamps work?
A. Straight line action clamps are operated manually to rotate the clamp lever or handle for pushing the plunger against workpieces and holding them securely.
Q. How is clamping force different from the holding force / capacity?
A. The term "holding force or capacity" indicates the ideal strength of the clamp for holding down the equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other industrial applications. The holding force is measured during the clamp manufacturing process, so does not provide a practical measure of the capacity of the clamp. Clamping force or exerting force denotes the actual force exerted by the clamp onto the workpieces for holding them. The clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity, due to several factors, such as the position of the attached spindle in the clamping bar and the opposing force applied on the clamp.
Q. Does Destaco supply customised or special versions of their clamps according to applications?
A. Destaco can supply customised versions of clamps upon request. The customisations can range from a different colour of handles to the removal of Destaco logo from the clamps.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?
A. A coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC is recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.
Q. Can the handles of the Destaco clamps be removed?
A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by simply sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removal.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand & minimise wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
