Product Details

Destaco 227-U-L horizontal hold down clamp is suitable for holding down workpieces against flat surfaces in manufacturing and woodworking facilities. It features a low profile design that minimises the space requirement for clamp installation & usage, thereby enabling ease of operation in confined spaces. This hold down action clamp is ideal for applications that require working on the same workpiece repeatedly. Additionally, its U shaped bar is designed for enabling quick spindle adjustment along the holding bar length. This enables the worker to adjust the toggle clamp according to the size of the workpiece. This toggle clamp features a neoprene spindle that keeps the workpiece stationary throughout the operation & prevents it from loosening / slipping. It has carbon steel construction & black oxide finish for ensuring high strength & abrasion resistance while preventing bending / breaking under heavy loads. However, this clamp is not recommended for machining applications. Destaco 227 Series clamps are also available in flat cushion neoprene, hex head stainless steel & neoprene tipped spindle variants on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the brand offer horizontal hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

Yes, in addition to this flanged base U bar variant, Destaco also offers straight base U bar (Destaco 227-UB) and straight base open bar (Destaco 227-UB-L) horizontal clamps. For highly abrasive conditions, a stainless steel variant (Destaco 227-USS) is also available.

How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

Some U bar style clamping arm clamps feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).

What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down sheet metal or equipment on assembly lines or during manufacturing processes.

Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

For ensuring smooth operation & durability of mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC

What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.
