Product Details

Horizontal hold down clampsuse handles positioned parallel to the base (in the locked position) to push the clamping arms and the attached spindle against the workpieces for secure clamping. Destaco 217 Series horizontal hold down clamps are suitable for holding workpieces against flat surfaces in fixture checking, woodworking, assembly & closure operations. These manual clamps are ideal for operations requiring repeated clamping / detaching of the workpieces. Destaco 217 Series clamps have a low profile design with large handle clearance (in the open position) to increase ease of operation in confined spaces and reduce the space needed for clamp installation & usage. Destaco 217-USS manual toggle clamp has stainless steel construction to provide corrosion resistance and preventing wear & tear in outdoor environments. This clamp features a U shaped clamping bar for enabling quick spindle adjustment, decreasing downtime and preventing buying of a separate clamp for diverse applications according to various sized workpieces. It also fits an adjustable hex head spindle along the clamp bar to prevent loosening of the workpieces and keep them stationary throughout the operation. This clamp has a flanged base for installation on flat horizontal surfaces. Raptor Supplies also offers this clamp variants having steel construction, straight base and open bar design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What other variants of Destaco 217-USS manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

Raptor Supplies also offers these similar manual clamps in steel construction (217-U) for structural rigidity and preventing breaking / bending under heavy duty use. For more variants related to Destaco 217-USS clamp, visit Destaco 217 Series clamps page on our website.

How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

Certain U bar style clamps, such as Destaco 217-USS toggle clamp, feature a hex head stainless steel spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This horizontal handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

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

The difference lies in the orientation of the clamp handle when it 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).

What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

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.

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

Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

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.

Does Destaco supply customised or special versions of their clamps according to applications?

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