Product Details:

Destaco 317-U vertical hold down clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces against flat surfaces / workbenches in woodworking and metalworking facilities. This toggle clamp features a U style clamping bar with a neoprene spindle for keeping the workpiece in position throughout the operation while preventing loosening and unwanted workpiece movement. This bar can be opened up to an angle of 180 degrees for clearing the work area, thereby ensuring hassle free workpiece processing / operation. Destaco vertical hold down toggle locking clamp has carbon steel construction which is zinc plated for minimising damage / wear against abrasive conditions & outdoor environments. This toggle clamp is a suitable choice for operations where there is a requirement to clamp / detach the workpiece repeatedly throughout the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does the brand offer vertical hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 317-U flanged base U bar variant, the brand also offers flanged base solid bar (Destaco 317-S) vertical clamps as well.

Q. What is a vertical hold down clamp?

A. Destaco vertical hold down clamps are specially designed for holding the workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like woodworking & metalworking.

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

A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down the equipment or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar manufacturing processes.

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. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the orientation of the clamp handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Some U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 317-U feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

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 variants are also available.

Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

A. The red colour of the handles aware the user of the operating handle location and when should the user grab it.
