Destaco 341-R-M-50 pull action latch clamp works similarly to latch-on fishing tackle boxes and provides quick latching or clamping of lids or access covers onto drums / containers / vessels. It is capable of holding loads up to 2000 lb and comes equipped with a flanged base having threaded holes for easy and secure mounting. Destaco 341-R-M-50 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. This pull action clamp is also supplied with a latch plate and a thumb control lever for convenient & flexible single handed operation. Destaco 341-R-M-50 clamp can mount vertically from behind, with the handle in the back & locked position, preventing components from falling forwards. It has the Toggle Lock Plus safety mechanism that acts as a secondary locking system and prevents unintentional opening of the clamp. It is configured 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 suitable for closing objects such as latching doors and molding closures. This Destaco clamp has a 50 mm longer hook than the standard length and features steel construction for structural rigidity.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do Destaco 341 Series pull action latch clamps work?
A. These 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. What is the function of Toggle Lock Plus mechanism?
A. Destaco clamps feature the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.
Q. What does the clamp's holding capacity signify?
A. The 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. 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 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.
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.
