DESTACO 95060 Straight Line Action Clamp, 3960 lb, 2.36 Inch Plunger Travel

Straight line action clamps are ideal for moving a clamp plunger & spindle along their axis to securely hold vertical workpieces using a handle. These clamps can be locked either in both extended & retracted positions for use as pull & push clamps or in extended position only for use as push clamps. They are used during fixturing, testing, CNC machining, tensioning & plastic injection moulding operations that require repeated clamping and unclamping. Destaco 95030, 95040, 95050 & 95060 Series clamps feature low profile & compact design for reducing overhead clearance needs during the installation / operation. These clamps feature an ergonomic handle that falls below the mounting plane to lock the clamp in the retracted position. They have a cast steel handle & base with black oxide finish to prevent regular wear & tear & provide structural strength. Destaco 95060 straight line action clamp is equipped with a round, metrically threaded plunger to quickly fit a metric threaded spindle assembly. It can be locked in both pulling & pushing directions and provides a maximum load capacity of 3960 lb. This clamp has flanged base mounting style for quick installation on horizontal surfaces to support heavy duty clamping of workpieces. This manual clamp is also available in load capacities of 550, 1100 & 1650 lb on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 95060 latch clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers this Destaco manual clamp in variants having 550 lb (95030), 1100 lb (95040) and 1650 lb (95050) maximum holding capacities.

Q. How do straight line action clamps work?

A. Straight line action clamps are operated manually to rotate the levers or handle for pushing the clamp plunger against the workpieces and holding them securely.

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

A. The term "holding force or capacity" indicates the ideal strength of the clamp for holding down the equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other industrial applications. The holding force is measured during the clamp manufacturing process, so does not provide a practical measure of the capacity of the clamp. 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 spindles in the clamping bars and the opposing force applied on the clamp.

Q. Does Destaco supply customised or special versions of their clamps according to 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.

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

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

Q. Can the handles of the Destaco clamps be removed?

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

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.
