Destaco 8071 pneumatic hold down clamp is used for holding down workpieces in the automation, aerospace, food & packaging, and automotive industries. This clamp is equipped with a magnetic piston ring that accurately detects the piston position during clamping operations. This hold down clamp employs an air actuated cylinder for applying clamping pressure & holding the workpiece in place. Destaco 8071 pneumatic hold down clamp features an enclosed design, making it ideal for MIG & spot welding in dirty environments. This portable pneumatic clamp is self contained, requires only a pressure source for safety and allows economical use on short run jobs with temporary fixturing. Destaco 8071 pneumatic toggle clamp has a non pivoting cylinder that can be hard piped into fixtures, and is compatible with round & T slot style sensors. This pneumatic hold down clamp is actuated by a double acting pneumatic cylinder with a maximum clamping pressure of 145 psig. Destaco 8071 pneumatic hold down clamp is incorporated with U bar clamping arm configuration for easy attachment of the arm extension and allows bar opening up to 90 degrees. This pneumatic hold down clamp is capable of holding loads up to 450 lb and can be operated at temperatures ranging from -14 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the holding capacity of a clamp?
A. The holding capacity or holding force signifies the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal during automotive part assembling or manufacturing processes.
Q. What is a pneumatic toggle clamp?
A. Pneumatic toggle clamps utilise compressed air rather than mechanical force for applying clamping force to hold workpieces in place. They get actuated with a double acting pneumatic cylinder.
Q. How does a pneumatic hold down toggle clamp work?
A. The toggle clamp actuates against the workpiece and stretches or compresses the equipped linkages for keeping the workpiece in a stationary position.
Q. Does Destaco also supply any water resistant clamp sensors?
A. Yes, Destaco also offers inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to provide protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.
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 are the advantages of power clamps?
A. Power clamps offer the ability to control clamping force, increase productivity & production, provide consistent & efficient services for repetitive production operations, and support workpieces that adjust automatically.
Q. What does clamping pressure mean?
A. The holding power or clamping pressure of a toggle clamp is a crucial factor to take into account before starting an application. The operator has to place the right amount of pressure on the workpiece while clamping. We suggest not to exceed the recommended pressure because it may tremendously damage your workpiece. In addition, too little weight is also not ideal.
