DESTACO 371-R-M-50 Latch Clamp, Toggle Lock Plus, 14.7 Inch Length, 750 lb

Pull action latch clamps provide a strong closing force for regular closing & opening of fixtures during latching, moulding and assembly operations. These horizontal or vertical pulling devices are primarily available in fixed latch, U hook (horizontal and vertical) and J hook clamp designs. Destaco 371 Series clamps feature a J hook pull bar for pulling a workpiece (parallel to the clamp base) using a handle. The handle of these clamps are equipped with a patented thumb control lever for convenient single handed operation. Destaco 371-R-M-50 clamp has a 50 mm longer J hook for pulling fixtures at a greater distance than standard J hook style clamps. This clamp has a maximum holding capacity of 750 lb. It has a flanged base mounting style for quick & easy installation on flat surfaces or workpieces. This latch clamp has steel construction for structural strength to prevent bending / breaking due to harsh usage. It has Toggle Lock Plus mechanism to act as secondary locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening during the operation. Raptor Supplies offers this clamp in variants having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in abrasive conditions; without Toggle Lock Plus for reducing operating costs where secondary locking of the clamp is not required. You can order these latch clamp variants having different hook lengths (standard length, 25 mm longer than standard length & 100 mm longer than standard length), by simply removing -M-50 or adding -M-25 & -M-100 at the end of the model number.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What other variants of Destaco 371-R-M-50 latch clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers Destaco 371-M-50 without Toggle Lock Plus feature for reducing operating costs. We can also supply Destaco 371-RSS-M-50 latch clamp having stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability under harsh environments.

Q. Is Destaco 371-R-M-50 latch clamp available in different hook lengths?

Q. How do latch clamps work?

A. These pull action latch clamps has 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.
