Product Details:

Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp provides quick and flexible clamping. It is suitable for welding or bolting at any point along the mounting bar. This plier clamp has a squeeze action mechanism to lock the unit automatically when closing, as one or both handles are squeezed against the central position. It features an ergonomic handle that opens & closes the jaws and threaded work holding spindle that adjusts the clamping height to fit the workpiece. This squeeze action clamp is integrated with a two way trigger release that allows faster & easier opening of the clamp. Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp is suitable for attachment by welding the front or the top of the base to a container or a cover. This portable machine clamp is designed for workholding applications where fasteners or permanently mounted clamps are unnecessary. This clamp is ideal for the harshest environments and for parting line clamping of rotational molds. It features corrosion-resistant stainless steel rivets and molded grips to ensure utmost safety. This squeeze action plier clamp is machined to tight tolerances for applications that demand high precision clamping for workpiece manufacturing and repairing tasks. It comes with an ergonomic grip and can handle loads up to 1000 lb.

Uses:

Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp is designed for plastic injection moulding, welding & assembly operations in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.

Features:

  • Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp features drop forged alloy steel components that are machined to close tolerances for strength.
  • It incorporates a compact design to secure workpieces in applications having space constraints.
  • This plier clamp is equipped with a two-way trigger release system that ensures fast and easy opening of the clamp.

Compatible Accessories:

  • Destaco 240203-M: These hex head spindle assemblies feature threaded bodies that aid in the quick & easy installation of Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp on flat surfaces / workbenches.
    These spindle assemblies can also be used to replace worn-out / damaged spindles to extend the service life of your clamps and reduce the risk of marring when rubber stoppers begin to wear away.

Standards and Approvals:

  • Destaco 486 squeeze action plier clamp meets international standards like ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 9001:2015 to ensure environmental health, utmost user safety and enhanced performance of the clamps.

  • It can also be attached by welding or bolting the base bar to a fixture at any point along the base.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does a plier clamp work?

A. While closing, the jaws of plier clamps are automatically locked and the handles are squeezed against the central position for effective clamping.

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 ordinarily 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 signify 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 the colour of the clamp's handle, as it 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.
