DESTACO 424-2 Squeeze Action Clamp, 1 Inch Jaw Width, 200 lb Capacity

Destaco 424-2 squeeze action manual clamp, also known as plier clamp or portable clamp, is designed for holding single / multiple workpieces together in automotive, aerospace and food & packaging facilities. It is used to replace fasteners when permanent clamping is not possible. This squeeze action plier clamp is well suited for providing quick & flexible clamping in high workload environments. This medium duty squeeze action clamp features forged alloy steel construction for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. Destaco 424-2 clamp is machined to tight tolerances for applications that demand high precision clamping for workpiece manufacturing and repairing tasks. Destaco 424-2 squeeze action plier clamp comes with a two way trigger release mechanism that enables easy and flexible one handed operation. This clamp unit comes equipped with two adjustable neoprene spindles for maximum clamping force and is capable of withstanding loads up to 200 lb. Destaco 424-2 squeeze action clamp has 1 inch distance between the jaws and comes with an automatic locking mechanism that is engaged when both the clamp handles are tightly squeezed against the central position.

Uses:

Destaco 424-2 squeeze action clamp offers a wide combination of features, making it suitable for applications such as plastic injection moulding, welding & assembling operations in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.

Features:

Compatible Accessories:

• Destaco 431208-M: The brand's flat tip bonded neoprene spindles are used with Destaco 424-2 squeeze action plier clamps to provide a cushion between clamps & clamped items, thereby securing material to work surfaces in milling, drilling and welding applications. It provides excellent oil resistance and is LABS (silicone) free. These spindles are capable of being operated at temperatures ranging from -22 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Standards and Approvals:

• Destaco 424-2 pull action latch clamp meets international standards like ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 9001:2015 to ensure environmental health, utmost user safety and efficient performance of the clamp.

Installation:

• Destaco 424-2 squeeze action plier clamp can be easily installed by opening the clamp's jaws using the handle. The handles are then tightly squeezed together against the central position for locking the clamp in place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a squeeze action plier clamp?

A. Destaco squeeze action plier clamps are manually operated squeeze style clamps that are used for various applications including plastic injection moulding, welding & assembly. They are ideal for the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.

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. What is manual clamping?

A. Unlike pneumatic straight line action clamps, regular manual clamps from Destaco feature separate handles for engaging the plunger to hold the workpiece in place.

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. 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. 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. 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.
