DESTACO 324-R-M-25 Latch Clamp, Steel, Toggle Lock Plus, 4.45 Inch Length, 500 lb

Pull action latch clamps use a handle to place a clamping pull bar / hook around a workpiece / fixture (placed horizontally or vertically to the clamp base). Destaco pull action latch clamps have fixed latch, U hook (horizontal & vertical) and J hook designs for pulling / closing fixtures frequently in latching, moulding and assembly operations. Destaco 324 Series clamps feature a vertical U hook to close a workpiece that is positioned perpendicular to the clamp base. Their ergonomic handles are equipped with a patented thumb control lever for a quick, single handed operation. These clamps have a flanged base mounting style for quick & easy installation on a flat surface / workpiece. Destaco 324-R-M-25 clamp comes with a 25 mm longer U hook than a standard length U hook style clamp for closing a workpiece at a greater distance. It is equipped with Toggle Lock Plus mechanism as secondary locking of the clamp to prevent its accidental opening during the operation. This latch clamp is made of steel for strength & durability to withstand regular wear & tear. It has a maximum holding capacity of 500 lb. Raptor Supplies offers this clamp in variants having stainless steel construction to resist corrosion; without Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to reduce operating costs where secondary locking is not required. You can order these latch clamps having different hook lengths (standard length, 50 mm longer than standard length & 100 mm longer than standard length), by simply removing -M-25 or adding -M-50 & -M-100 at the end of the model number.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer manual clamps with similar specifications as Destaco 324-R-M-25 clamp in other variants?

A. Raptor Supplies delivers similar clamp variants, such as Destaco 324-M-25 latch clamp without Destaco Toggle Lock Plus mechanism for reducing operating costs, as well as acting as secondary locking sytem to prevent its accidental opening during the operation. We can also supply Destaco 324-RSS-M-25 latch clamp having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability.

Q. Is Destaco 324-R-M-25 latch clamp available in different hook lengths?

A. Destaco supplies similar latch clamps in different hook lengths, such as standard length (324-R), 50 mm longer than standard length (324-R-M-50) and 100 mm longer than standard hook length (324-R-M-100).

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps have a handle to operate the tool, a clamping arm to act as a contact point between the work item & the clamp and a base to attach the clamp to the surface. Once the simple linkage system of the clamp is put in the over-centre position, the handle is moved for creating a force parallel to the base to hold the work items.

Q. What are the benefits of using Toggle Lock Plus mechanism in Destaco manual clamps?

A. Many of the Destaco manual clamps come with the Toggle Lock Plus feature to act as a secondary locking mechanism and ensure the over-centre toggle lock condition of the clamps. This mechanism is essential when fixtures of the clamp are in motion, in a vibratory environment or are inverted. It offers an extra level of safety for the user and the workpiece.

Q. Which grease is recommended to be used with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. Whenever you're dealing with the brand's mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

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