Destaco 305-UR horizontal hold down clamp features robust construction for durability. It holds workpieces in place using a horizontal lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. This hold down clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable clamps when performing repetitive tasks. It comprises accurately machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings. This horizontal hold down clamp offers high clamping ability that reduces necessary fixtures for a particular application. Destaco 305-UR horizontal hold down clamp enables the user to undertake an action without being worried about the frequent movement of the workpiece. It holds workpieces in place using a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged. This Destaco toggle clamp is used for grinding, welding, assembling, machining and metal fabricating applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This horizontal hold down clamp has a fixed design to secure & loosen workpieces without moving the clamp itself. It features an automatic pressure adjustment system that automatically adjusts the clamp's pressure according to the size of the workpiece. It comes equipped with a high strength, forged alloy steel clamping arm for increased strength and handling a maximum load of 150 lb. This horizontal hold down clamp incorporates 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. Destaco 305-UR horizontal hold down clamp features increased hand clearance to reduce pinch points and fixed handle pivot capability to ensure smooth clamping action. It is incorporated with the Destaco Toggle Lock Plus feature to ensure that the over centre locking condition is maintained and the clamp is protected against unintentional opening.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How are horizontal toggle clamps used?
A. Horizontal toggle clamps use an over-center locking action to hold a workpiece or fixture in the locked position.
Q. How are toggle clamps measured?
A. 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.
Q. How does a hold down toggle clamp work?
A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and compresses or stretches the equipped linkages to keep the workpiece in a stationary position.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?
A. While dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, we would recommend using a coupling grease like Mobil XTC. Pneumatic cylinder seals require the Magnalube G grease. They only require a few drops of lubricating oil to keep them in excellent condition.
Q. How do you adjust a horizontal toggle clamp?
A. After clamping, the force can be adjusted by loosening / tightening the spindle nut (supplied with selected units for protection from abrasion, twisting or flexing).
