DESTACO 381-M-100 Latch Clamp, J Hook, 1000 lb, Steel, Flanged Base Mounting

Pull action latch clamps offer a strong closing force for repetitive closing & opening of fixtures that are placed horizontally or vertically to their clamp base. These clamps are primarily available in fixed latch, U hook (horizontal and vertical) and J hook styles for pulling workpieces during latching, moulding and assembly operations. Destaco 381 Series clamps are equipped with a J hook pull bar for pulling / closing a workpiece (positioned parallel to the clamp base) when its clamp handle is moved. These clamp handles feature a patented thumb control lever for quick one handed operation. Destaco 381-M-100 clamp has a 100 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 flanged base for quick mounting on a flat surface / workpiece. This latch clamp is made of steel for strength to prevent regular wear & tear due to harsh usage. It provides a maximum load capacity of 1000 lb. Raptor Supplies offers this clamp in a variant having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in abrasive conditions. You can order these latch clamps in different hook lengths (standard length, 25 mm longer than standard length & 50 mm longer than standard length), by simply removing -M-100 or adding -M-25 & -M-50 at the end of the model number.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 381-M-100 latch clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies can deliver similar clamp variants, such as Destaco 381-SS-M-100 latch clamp having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability under harsh environments.

Q. Is Destaco 381-M-100 latch clamp available in different hook lengths?

A. Destaco supplies similar latch clamps in different hook lengths, such as standard length (381), 25mm longer than standard length (381-M-25) and 50 mm longer than standard hook length (381-M-50).

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.

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.
