Q. Does the brand offer straight line action clamps in other styles?
A. Yes, apart from this flanged base clamp, Destaco also offers various solid base clamps (Destaco 5131-B & Destaco 5131-BR) as well.
Q. What is a straight line action clamp?
A. Destaco straight line action clamps are manually operated push / pull style clamps that are used for various applications, such as welding, woodworking, tensioning devices and various assembly & testing operations.
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. How do straight line action clamps work?
A. Some straight line action clamps, such as Destaco 5131-MR clamp, feature a threaded plunger that is manually fastened using a plastic grip handle. These clamps feature a two way locking handle (retracted or extended position) for enabling the user to use this clamp either in push or pull type configuration.
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 any other manufacturing process.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. Yes, stainless steel and carbon steel clamps from Destaco withstand & minimise wear against harsh industrial environments. For applications that require clamping in outdoor conditions, stainless steel clamps are also available.
