DESTACO 5131-MBR Hold Down Action Clamp, Toggle Lock Plus, Solid Base, 2500 lb

Straight line action clamps use their handles to push a plunger against a workpiece during fixturing, testing, CNC machining & plastic injection moulding applications. These clamps lock either in two positions (extended & retracted position) or in one position (only extended position). Destaco 5000 Series straight line action clamps, also known as hold down action clamps feature a high strength, clamping arm for performing heavy duty operations. They are equipped with hardened bushings & steel pivot pins for ensuring long service life. Destaco 5131-MBR straight line action clamp features Toggle Lock Plus mechanism for secondary locking to prevent its accidental opening during the operation. It has solid base mounting style for permanent mounting on a flat surface / workpiece using welding. This clamp has a low profile and robust steel construction with black oxide finish for strength, durability and operation in compact spaces. It has a reverse acting handle that rotates backwards to move the plunger in forward direction & keep the handle out of the work area. This clamp has a metric threaded, hardened plunger for attaching a metric threaded spindle. The clamp can hold a maximum load of 2500 lb. Raptor Supplies also offers this manual clamp in variants having flanged base for an easily removable installation; imperial plunger threading for accomodating imperial threaded spindles. We also supply a similar clamp without Toggle Lock Plus feature for reducing operating costs where secondary locking of the clamp is not required.

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

A. Selected models of the Destaco clamps come with a Toggle Lock Plus feature, providing an extra level of safety to the user and the workpiece when fixtures are inverted / in motion / in a vibratory environment. It acts as a secondary locking mechanism to ensure that the clamp stays in over-centre toggle lock condition.

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

A. The term "holding capacity" or the holding force indicates the ideal capability of the clamp, measured during manufacturing of the clamps, to hold down the equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other manufacturing processes.

Q. Does red colour of the handle signify anything on Destaco clamps?

A. The red colour of the handle alerts the operator about the location of the operating handle and the time he should grab it.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?

A. Coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC is recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.

Q. Can the handles of Destaco clamps be removed?

A. Most of the Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by sliding them off. But some of the handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removing them.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand & minimise wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
