Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp, also known as plier clamp or portable clamp, is designed for holding single / multiple workpieces together in automotive, aerospace and food & packaging facilities. This squeeze action plier clamp is ideal for providing quick & flexible clamping in high workload environments. It features forged alloy steel construction for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. This is a portable machine clamp designed for workholding applications where fasteners or permanently mounted clamps are unnecessary. Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp comes with an ergonomic handle that opens & closes the jaws and threaded workholding spindle that adjusts the clamping height to fit the workpiece. This squeeze action plier clamp is integrated with an automatic locking system that provides squeezing action when one or both the handles are pressed against the central position. It is equipped with an ergonomic grip and can handle loads up to 800 lb (362.87 kg). This clamp is suitable for attachment by welding the front or the top of the base to a container or a cover. Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp has a jaw that moves 90 degrees to swing completely out of the way for user convenience.

Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp is designed for plastic injection moulding, welding & assembly operations in the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.
Features:
- Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp has drop-forged alloy-steel construction and a two-way trigger release feature for single-handed operation.
- It is ideal for various quick and flexible clamping applications, and is attached by welding or using mounting holes.
- The jaws of the clamp lock automatically when one or both the handles are squeezed against the central position.
- This Destaco clamp has a maximum jaw opening angle of 90 degrees and a maximum load holding capacity of 800 lb (362.9 kg).
Compatible Accessories:
- Destaco 325203-M: These spindle assemblies (supplied with Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp) feature threaded rods that help in mounting the unit to secure material to work surfaces. The spindles can be adjusted to accommodate materials of varying thicknesses.
These spindle assemblies can also be used to replace worn-out / damaged spindles to extend the service life of your clamps and reduce the risk of marring when rubber stoppers begin to wear away.
Standards and Approvals:
- Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp meets international standards like ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 9001:2015 to ensure environmental health & safety, and efficient performance of the clamps.
Installation:
- Destaco 325 squeeze action plier clamp can be easily installed by opening the clamp's jaw using the handle. The handles are then tightly squeezed together against the central position for locking the clamp in place.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to use a plier clamp?
A. Destaco plier clamps or squeeze action clamps are used to firmly grasp objects in welding, moulding, bending and compressing applications. While closing, the jaws of plier clamps are automatically locked and the handles are squeezed against the central position for effective clamping.
Q. What is a squeeze action plier clamp?
A. Destaco squeeze action plier clamps are manually operated squeeze style clamps that are used for various applications including plastic injection moulding, welding & assembly. They are ideal for the automotive, aerospace and food & packaging industries.
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 ordinarily 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.
Q. What is manual clamping?
A. Unlike pneumatic straight line action clamps, regular manual clamps from Destaco feature separate handles for engaging the plunger to hold the workpiece in place.
Q. What does holding capacity signify in terms of clamps?
A. 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.
Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?
A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it exclusively represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.
Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps for their rebuilding?
A. 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.
Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
