Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a straight line action clamp?

A. Destaco straight line action clamps are manual operated push / pull style clamps that are used for various applications including welding, woodworking, tensioning devices and for assembly & testing operations.

Q. Does the brand offer straight line action clamps in other styles?

A. Yes, apart from Destaco 5150-R flanged style base variant, models having solid style base (Destaco 5150-MB & Destaco 5150-BR) are also available.

Q. How do straight line action clamps work?

A. Some straight line action clamps, such as Destaco 5150-M clamp, feature a threaded plunger that is manually fastened using a plastic grip handle.

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, such as 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. Does the brand offer straight line action clamps in other configurations?

A. Destaco also offers a wide range of straight line action clamps in a range of configurations & styles and constructions (stainless steel & zinc plated carbon steel).

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 any other manufacturing process.

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

A. For ensuring smooth operation & durability of mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, stainless steel and carbon steel clamps from Destaco withstand & minimise wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel clamps are also available.
