DESTACO 341-SS Pull Action Latch Clamp, U-Hook, Flanged Base, 2000 lb

Destaco 341-SS pull action latch clamp is ideal for latching, moulding & assembly operations in the metalworking, aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. It is integrated with a patented thumb control lever and a latch plate for single handed operation. This pull action latch clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to a work surface. In addition to this, it helps in holding the clamp in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged & pressed down to reach the locked position, ensuring quick and fatigue less clamping operations. This latch clamp requires little effort for locking & unlocking, and features a pin connection to resist movement in different directions, allowing clamp rotation about its axis. Destaco 341-SS pull action latch clamp is well suited for molding & securing closures for lids, doors & covers. This pull action latch clamp is integrated with threaded U hooks for easy adjustments, and is made of stainless steel for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. Destaco 341-SS pull action latch clamp has a flanged base with threaded holes for secure installation and is capable of withstanding loads up to 2000 lb. This pull action latch clamp comes with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to prevent accidental opening of clamps.
If you want to order clamps with longer hooks than the standard ones, simply add -M-25 (25 mm), -M-50 (50 mm) or -M-100 (100 mm) suffix to the MPN (for example, 341-M-25) and request a quote for the same on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps depend on 3 main components - a handle for operating the tool, a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally for creating force parallel to the base and squeeze-holding the work items.

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

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

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 is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

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. 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.
