Destaco 375-R-M-25 pull action latch clamp provides quick latching or clamping of lids or access covers onto drums / containers / vessels. It is capable of holding loads up to 4000 lb and comes with a flanged base having threaded holes for easy and secure mounting. This pull action clamp is also supplied with a latch plate and a thumb control lever for convenient & flexible single handed operation. This pull action latch clamp works similarly to latch-on fishing tackle boxes. Destaco 375-R-M-25 pull action latch clamp applies force in a direct, straight line direction to allow the unit to toggle in the forward and rear positions. This is particularly useful in situations where the operator occasionally requires the clamp. Additionally, the clamp can mount vertically from behind, with the handle in the back & locked position, thereby preventing components from falling forwards. This clamp has the Toggle Lock Plus safety mechanism that acts as a secondary locking system and prevents unintentional opening of the clamp. 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. This clamp has a 25 mm longer hook than the standard length and features steel construction for structural rigidity.

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 flange & narrow flange 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. 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 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. 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 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.
