Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What other variants of Destaco 375-R-M-100 latch clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers these manual clamps in variants without the Destaco Toggle Lock Plus feature (375-M-100) to reduce operating costs and in weld on base mounting style (375-BR-M-100) for permanent, welded installation.
Q. Is Destaco 375-R-M-100 latch clamp offered in different hook lengths?
A. Raptor Supplies can deliver similar latch clamps having different hook lengths, such as standard length (375-R), 25 mm longer than standard length (375-R-M-25) and 50 mm longer than standard length (375-R-M-50).
Q. How do latch clamps work?
A. These pull action latch clamps have a handle to operate the tool, a clamping arm to act as a contact point between the work item & the clamp and a base to attach the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is moved for creating a force parallel to the base to hold the work items.
Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?
A. Many of the Destaco manual clamps come with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to act as a secondary locking mechanism and ensure the over-centre toggle lock condition of the clamps. This mechanism is essential when fixtures of the clamp are in motion, in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It offers an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.
Q. Which grease is recommended to be used with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?
A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.
Q. What does holding capacity mean 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 the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.
Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?
A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
Q. Can the red handles of the Destaco clamps be removed?
A. Most Destaco clamps feature grips that can be easily removed by simply sliding them off. But some handle grips undergo vinyl dipping to fit the underlying handle and hence, have to be cut off for removal.
