EThese Destaco 225 Series horizontal toggle clamps or horizontal handle toggle clamps are designed for holding workpieces in place using a horizontal lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. They offer a stationary alternative to removable clamps when performing repetitive tasks in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. These units feature a low profile design for light duty clamping applications such as closures, assembling, checking fixtures and woodworking in tight spaces. Destaco hold down toggle locking clamps are made of stainless steel for rigidity and corrosion resistance and feature a horizontal handle parallel to the clamping bar that is capable of moving in the opposite direction. These clamps require minimum overhead clearance with a 90 degrees clamp bar opening and have a spring in the jaw to hold the clamps in place after a few adjustments. They have U shaped clamping arms with flanged or straight base mounting options for easy surface installation. Destaco horizontal hold down clamps come with a handle, a lever system, and a securing bar that ensures the objects won’t move. The equipped lever system applies enough pressure on the object to keep the workpiece steady for work and these clamps also incorporate a linkage system that applies a powerful clamping force with minimum effort to lock or unlock. Selected models come integrated with Toggle Lock Plus safety feature to ensure that the over-centre locking condition is maintained and the clamp remains protected against unintentional opening. Additionally, these Destaco horizontal clamps are capable of handling loads up to 600 lb and can accommodate flanged washers, cross arm sets & flat tip bonded neoprene spindles for high performance workholding, automation and containment solutions.

DEThese Destaco 201 Series vertical hold down toggle locking clamps, also known as vertical manual hold down clamps, are designed to offer a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps when securing materials to a work surface. These manual clamps hold workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position, to hold workpieces firmly in place when the clamps are engaged. Further, they apply downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms and are ideal for fixture checking, assembling & testing, woodworking and light machining in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. These hold down clamps feature a low profile design for tight spaces and offer the flexibility to position the base, clamp arm & handle by welding them in the desired position. They comprise accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins & bushings. These clamps are supplied with a neoprene spindle for maximum holding force and ergonomic handle grip. Destaco vertical manual hold down clamps feature a straight or flanged base with threaded holes for ease of installation. These weldable vertical toggle clamps provide the flexibility to position the handle as required, and have a fatigue less handle grip. These vertical hold down clamps are made of steel / stainless steel for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces and are capable of withstanding loads up to 125 lb. Additionally, they have a flanged or straight base with threaded holes for secure surface or blade mounting, respectively. These clamps offer great hand clearance and exhibit a maximum clamp bar opening angle of 100 degrees for additional safety.

Horizontal handle toggle clamps are used in heavy duty horizontal clamping operations owing to their high clamping capacities and reliability. Raptor Supplies is a distributor of horizontal handle toggle clamps from brands like Destaco and Bessey. These heavy duty hold down clamps are designed for holding workpieces in place, with a lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. When the handle is in the horizontal position, these toggle clamps are in the locked position. These hold down clamps apply downward clamping force. Upon rotating the handle downward, the clamping arm pivots downward in the opposite direction to lock over the centre. These clamps feature a low profile to prevent obstruction.
Selected Destaco toggle clamps, including 213 Series clamps, feature an automatic pressure adjustment system that automatically adjusts the clamp's pressure. This allows the clamping of workpieces of varying sizes to adjust the pressure themselves. Most horizontal hold down toggle clamps are integrated with a linkage system that applies powerful clamping force with little effort to lock or unlock. Since this force is directed along the links, locking or unlocking the toggle does not require any force. The clamps are equipped with a spring in the jaw to hold it in place after a few adjustments.
Horizontal toggle clamps incorporate a wide combination of features, making them useful for CNC machining, automotive part assembling and fixture checking in the aerospace, automotive and food processing & packaging industries.
Destaco Horizontal Toggle Clamps:
Bessey Horizontal Toggle Clamps:
Destaco horizontal toggle clamps are manufactured in compliance with industry standards like ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 for environmental health, utmost user safety and superior performance of the clamps.
Destaco straight line action clamps come with through holes on the flanged / straight base that allow quick and secure surface or blade mounting onto flat surfaces / workpieces using simple screwing. They can be removed and installed at a different location by simply unscrewing using a screwdriver.
Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.
Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, including 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.
The difference lies in the positioning of the clamp handle when it is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in the locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).
There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.
The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.
Horizontal toggle clamps use an over-centre locking action to hold a workpiece or fixture in the locked position.
Selected Destaco horizontal clamp models feature the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.
A coupling grease like Mobil XTC should be used when dealing with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease is great for use with pneumatic cylinder seals.
