Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does the brand offer vertical pull action latch clamps in other configurations?
A. Destaco also offers a wide range of horizontal handle toggle clamps in a range of configurations & styles and constructions (stainless steel & zinc plated carbon steel).
Q. What is a pull action latch clamp?
A. Destaco pull action latch clamps have horizontally positioned handles and U hooks which makes them suitable for latching applications on lids, doors, drums, vessels, containers & access covers, as well as assembly & moulding operations.
Q. How do horizontal pull action latch clamps work?
A. Some U hook style latch clamps (like Destaco 385-R-M-100 pull action clamp) feature a long U hook that is manually fastened using a handle. A locking assembly is also screwed onto the workpiece to hold the clamp's U hook, thereby keeping tension between the clamp & workpiece for ensuring secure clamping.
Q. Does the brand offer horizontal pull action latch clamps in other constructions?
A. Yes, in addition to Destaco 385-R-M-100 carbon steel latch clamp, the brand also supplies stainless steel latch clamps (Destaco 385-SS & Destaco 385-RSS).
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 the equipment or sheet metal on the assembly line or during similar manufacturing processes.
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. Does the red colour of Destaco clamp handles mean anything?
A. The coloured handles have no such significance, except to denote a recognisable area. This is done to alert the operator where the operating handle is and where & when should he grab it.
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, such as 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. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. Yes, carbon steel clamps from Destaco are zinc plated for withstanding & minimising wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel clamps are also available.
