DESTACO 351-B-M-50 Pull Action Latch Clamp, 375 lb Holding Capacity, Steel

Pull action latch clamps offer a strong closing force during latching, moulding and assembly operations to repetitively close & open fixtures that are placed horizontally or vertically to their clamp base. These clamps are available in fixed latch, U hook (horizontal and vertical) and J hook designs. Destaco 351 Series clamps are equipped with a J hook pull bar for pulling a workpiece (parallel to the clamp base) when its clamp handle is moved. These clamp handles feature a thumb control lever for easy one handed operation. Destaco 351-B-M-50 clamp has a 50 mm longer J hook for pulling workpieces at a greater distance from the clamp base than a standard J hook style clamp. It has a narrow flanged base for quick mounting in a compact space. This latch clamp has steel construction for strength to prevent wear & tear under abrasive conditions.

We also supply Destaco 351-M-50 clamp having normal flange base for reducing operating costs when installed in a larger space.

Q. Is Destaco 351-B-M-50 latch clamp available in different hook lengths?

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps has a handle to operate the tool, a clamping arm to act as a contact point between the work item & the clamp; a base to attach the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is moved for creating a force parallel to the base to hold the work items.

Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Many of the Destaco manual clamps come with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to act as a secondary locking mechanism and ensure the over-centre toggle lock condition of the clamps. This mechanism is essential when fixtures of the clamp are in motion, in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It offers an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece. Raptor Supplies offers Destaco 351-R-M-50 latch clamp having Toggle Lock Plus feature and a flanged base to prevent its accidental opening during the operation.

Q. Which grease is recommended to be used 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. 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 the equipment or a sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.
