Description

Horizontal handle toggle clamps are used in heavy duty horizontal clamping operations owing to their high clamping capacities and reliability. Raptor Supplies is a distributor of horizontal handle toggle clamps from brands like Destaco and Bessey. These heavy duty hold down clamps are designed for holding workpieces in place, with a lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged. When the handle is in the horizontal position, these toggle clamps are in the locked position. These hold down clamps apply downward clamping force. Upon rotating the handle downward, the clamping arm pivots downward in the opposite direction to lock over the centre. These clamps feature a low profile to prevent obstruction.
Selected Destaco toggle clamps, including 213 Series clamps, feature an automatic pressure adjustment system that automatically adjusts the clamp's pressure. This allows the clamping of workpieces of varying sizes to adjust the pressure themselves. Most horizontal hold down toggle clamps are integrated with a linkage system that applies powerful clamping force with little effort to lock or unlock. Since this force is directed along the links, locking or unlocking the toggle does not require any force. The clamps are equipped with a spring in the jaw to hold it in place after a few adjustments.

Uses & Applications

Horizontal toggle clamps incorporate a wide combination of features, making them useful for CNC machining, automotive part assembling and fixture checking in the aerospace, automotive and food processing & packaging industries.

Working Mechanism

  • Destaco horizontal latch type toggle clamps need little effort for locking & unlocking, and have a pin connection for resisting movement in different directions, allowing clamp rotation about the axis. Selected models are equipped with a unique lever & pivot system to provide maximum accuracy while clamping and accomodating workpieces of different heights.
  • Horizontal hold down clamps have a lever handle that lays flat when the clamp is engaged, for holding workpieces in a stationary position. They apply downward clamping force when the handle is in the locked position. Upon rotating the handle downward, the clamping arm pivots downward in the opposite direction to lock over the centre.
  • Bessey horizontal toggle clamps are self adjusting units that can maintain clamping force while self-adjusting to variations in the workpiece height. They feature an integrated pressure screw which allows clamping force adjustment from 25 to 550 lb.

Features

Destaco Horizontal Toggle Clamps:

  • Destaco horizontal hold down clamps have a low profile design to prevent obstruction.
  • These hold down clamps have large handle clearance in the open position.
  • They include neoprene / hex head spindles for maximum holding force.
  • The clamps have steel / stainless steel construction for structural rigidity & durability.
  • They are capable of accommodating loads up to 4000 lb.
  • The pull action clamps are equipped with a latch plate & patented thumb control lever for single-handed operation and are integrated with threaded U-hooks for hassle-free adjustment.
  • These latch clamps exhibit a pulling action and feature a flanged base having threaded holes for easy installation
  • The Toggle Lock Plus mechanism prevents accidental opening of clamps.

Bessey Horizontal Toggle Clamps:

  • Bessey toggle clamps have an integrated pressure screw which allows clamping force adjustment from 25 to 550 lb.
  • They have a maximum load holding capacity of 700 lb and are equipped with a heat-resistant handle for operator comfort & safety.
  • These clamps feature nickel-plated coating for durability and protection against corrosion, as well as include removable, plastic, non marring pads for tensile strength.
  • The hole patterns on the base plate are designed to facilitate secure and fast clamping set-up for imperial and metric standards.

Standards & Approvals

Destaco horizontal toggle clamps are manufactured in compliance with industry standards like ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 for environmental health, utmost user safety and superior performance of the clamps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How are straight line action clamps installed?

A. Destaco straight line action clamps come with through holes on the flanged / straight base that allow quick and secure surface or blade mounting onto flat surfaces / workpieces using simple screwing. They can be removed and installed at a different location by simply unscrewing using a screwdriver.

Q. How are toggle clamps measured?

A. Toggle clamps are available in multiple variants having different holding capacities. The capacity of a particular toggle clamp can be measured by calculating the distance between the clamping plate (at its highest position) & the workbench.

Q. Does Destaco supply any water resistant clamp sensors?

A. Yes, Destaco also supplies inductive sensors designed in accordance with IP65 standards to ensure protection from powerful hydraulic jets, dust & heavy rain.

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 normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, including 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. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

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

Q. What is the significance of the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps?

A. There is no such significance of the colour of the clamp's handle, as it only represents a recognisable area. This helps operators in finding the handle quickly & easily.

Q. What does a clamp's holding capacity signify?

A. The clamp's holding capacity or holding force represents the capability to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.

Q. How are horizontal toggle clamps used?

A. Horizontal toggle clamps use an over-centre locking action to hold a workpiece or fixture in the locked position.

Q. What is the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism?

A. Selected Destaco horizontal clamp models feature the Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to prevent accidental opening of clamps.

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.
