Destaco 891 pneumatic toggle clamp is equipped with an air-actuated cylinder with an input port for connecting to the compressed air source. It then utilises the compressed air to apply clamping pressure for holding the workpiece in place. The non-pivoting cylinder can easily be hard-piped into fixtures. It is ideal for quick clamping applications in the automotive and food & packaging industries. This pneumatic toggle clamp incorporates over centre toggle action linkage with a pneumatic cylinder to provide a device that is easily adaptable for a wide variety of applications. Destaco 891 pneumatic toggle clamp is sensor ready for both round and T-slot style sensors and features an in-built flow restriction system, thereby eliminating the need for external flow controls and ensuring smooth clamping. It is a completely self-contained unit & requires just a single pressure source. This pneumatic clamp features an enclosed design for MIG & spot welding in dirty environments. It comes with hardened bushings & pins at all pivot points for long service life. This replacement clamp is capable of withstanding loads up to 5000 lb and comes equipped with a clamping arm for keeping workpieces safely in place. Destaco 891 pneumatic toggle clamp is equipped with a magnetic piston ring for accurate position sensing and an ergonomic handle grip for utmost operator comfort & reducing hand fatigue. It can be operated at temperatures ranging between -14 & 194 degrees F.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?
A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold down or straight line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self contained and require only a pressure source hook up.
Q. Which grease is ideal for Destaco clamps during their rebuilding?
A. A coupling grease like Mobil XTC is perfect for use with Destaco mechanical clamps, while the Magnalube G grease should be used with pneumatic cylinder seals.
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 similar manufacturing processes.
Q. What does the red colour of Destaco clamp handles signify?
A. There is no such significance of the red colour of the clamp handle, as it only depicts a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle easily & quickly.
Q. What does clamping force mean?
A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is generally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors including spindle position (clamping arm length), cylinder area, cylinder bore & available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
Q. Does Destaco 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. How to specify the right power clamp for a particular application?
A. The most important consideration is the size of the component that you're clamping, the amount of space available in the production process and what kind of access you need to have around the clamp. If you are clamping a very small component and you need to hold it close to the clamp, clearly a small clamp will be required. Secondly, one needs to consider the distance between the pivot point & the length of the clamp arm and the weight of the tooling. In addition, the user must also consider the amount of clamping force or holding force you need the clamp to apply.
