DESTACO 5905-B Vertical Hold Down Clamp, Straight Base, Solid Bar, 750 lb

Vertical hold down clamps feature a straight handle that is positioned perpendicular to the base (when in locked position) to push the clamping arm and the attached spindle against a workpiece for secure clamping. These manual clamps are used in operations requiring repeated clamping or detaching of the workpiece throughout the operations. Destaco 5905, 5910 & 5915 Series vertical hold down clamps are used to hold workpieces against flat surfaces in welding, grinding, light machining, assembly & metal fabrication applications. They are equipped with high-strength clamping arms for heavy-duty operations and hardened bushings & steel pivot pins for enhancing the durability of the clamps. These manual toggle clamps have robust steel construction with black oxide finish for preventing bending / breaking under heavy loads. They feature a solid clamping bar that can be cut, welded or modified to accommodate various operational requirements. Destaco 5905-B hold down clamp is equipped with a solid base for welded, permanent installation of the clamp on flat surfaces or workpieces. This clamp can handle a maximum load of 750 lb. Raptor Supplies also offers these clamps in variants with flange base mounting for a screwed on, temporary installation of the clamp; with maximum holding capacities of 1600 & 2750 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 5905-B clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers manual clamps having similar specifications with a flange base (Destaco 5905) for temporary installation. For more variants related to Destaco 5905-B clamp, refer to Destaco 5905, 5910 & 5915 Series clamps page on our website.

Q. How do vertical hold down clamps work?

A. Vertical handles / levers on the vertical hold down clamps are manually operated to move their clamping arms or the attached spindles against the workpieces and keep them stationary throughout the operation for secure clamping.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).

Q. How is clamping force different from the holding force / capacity?

A. The measure of holding force or capacity indicates the ideal strength of the clamp to hold down the equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other industrial applications. The holding force is measured during the clamp manufacturing process. Clamping force or exerting force denotes the actual force exerted by the clamp onto the workpieces for holding them. The clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity, due to several factors like the position of the spindle in the clamping bar and the opposing force applied on the clamp.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel variants are also available.

Q. Does Destaco deliver customised or special versions of their clamps according to customer requirements / applications?

A. Destaco can supply customised versions of clamps upon request. The customisations can range from a different colour of handles to the removal of the Destaco logo from the clamps.
