Q. What does the term "holding capacity" mean for Destaco clamps?

A. The holding capacity or holding force indicates the capability of a clamp to hold equipment, workpiece or sheet metal on assembly lines or during other manufacturing processes.

Q. Does the red colour on the handle of Destaco clamps mean anything?

A. The colour of the clamp handles bears no special significance, except to indicate an area for holding the clamp by an operator. This alerts the user of the position of the operating handle and where & when to grab it for clamp operation.

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps depend on 3 main components - a handle for operating the tool, a clamping arm for contact point between the work item & clamp, and a base for attaching the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is pulled horizontally for creating force parallel to the base and squeeze-holding the work items.
