Destaco 334-R pull action latch clamp is designed for quick clamping of doors, lids or access covers onto drums / containers / vessels. It is capable of holding loads up to 1000 lb and features a flanged base with threaded holes for easy installation. The clamp is equipped with the Destaco Toggle Lock Plus safety mechanism that acts as a secondary locking system. This pull action clamp is also supplied with a latch plate and a thumb control lever for flexible single handed operation. The pull action latch clamp works similarly to latch on fishing tackle boxes. It is equipped with a handle that is appropriately aligned with the opposing latch and hence, the handle can be pulled back down into the locking position, making it ideal for closing objects such as mold closures and latching doors. Destaco 334-R pull action latch clamp applies force in a direct, straight-line direction that allows the unit to toggle in the forward and rear positions. This is particularly useful in situations where the operator occasionally requires the clamp. Additionally, it offers an advantage when the clamp is mounted vertically, with the handle in the back & lock position, thereby preventing components from falling forwards.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism?
A. Destaco clamps feature the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.
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. What does the clamp's holding capacity signify?
A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts 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 only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.
Q. What does clamping force mean?
A. 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.
Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
