Destaco 323-M-25 pull action latch clamp mounts to work surfaces and holds workpieces together. When securing material to a work surface, this vertical handle toggle clamp offers a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps. The clamp has a lever that promptly locks a rubber stopper in place against the work surface, to secure objects tightly for drilling, welding, milling or woodworking applications. It needs little effort for locking & unlocking, and provides a pin connection that resists movement in different directions while allowing rotation of the clamp about its axis. Destaco 323-M-25 pull action latch clamp holds workpieces in place with a lever handle that is pushed to the upright position when the clamp is engaged and is pressed down to reach the locked position. This pull action latch clamp is equipped with a unique pivot & lever system for optimum precision while clamping and is capable of holding loads up to 200 lb. This closing clamp is supplied with a threaded horizontal U hook for easy adjustment. Destaco pull action latch clamp comes with a flanged base featuring threaded holes to allow secure installation and has an ergonomically designed handle to ensure minimum operator fatigue and quick clamping operation. The clamp features steel construction to ensure structural rigidity & corrosion resistance and is suitable for holding & closing chamber doors, lids, covers & access doors.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to choose the right type of latch clamp?
A. Destaco clamps feature steel or stainless steel construction and are available in flanged & narrow flanged base mounting styles for easy installation. They are offered in varying holding capacities, indicating the maximum external force that a clamp can resist safely (in locked position), without getting deformed permanently. Also, one should calculate the distance between the clamping plate and workpiece in its farthest position, before choosing a latch clamp.
Q. How do latch clamps work?
A. Pull action latch clamps depend on 3 main components - a handle for operating the tool, a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally for creating force parallel to the base and squeeze holding the work items.
Q. Are these Destaco clamps available with longer hooks?
A. Yes, Destaco offers these clamps with longer hooks (models ending with -M-25, -M-50 or -M-100) that are 25, 50 or 100 mm longer than the standard length.
Q. What is the importance of a latch clamp?
A. Destaco latch clamps firmly hold down workpieces and keep them stationary, without being interrupted by recurring movements of the project you are working on.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use while rebuilding Destaco clamps?
A. While handling the brand's mechanical clamps, we suggest you to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC. When dealing with pneumatic cylinder seals, use the Magnalube G grease.
Q. What does clamping force mean?
A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to a 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.
