DESTACO 812-U-LC Replacement Clamp Assembly, 812 Series Pneumatic Clamp, 100 lb

Pneumatic clamps use air actuated cylinders to apply clamping pressure on workpieces for repetitive clamping applications. Destaco pneumatic toggle clamps are ideal for fixturing, testing, assembling & welding operations in the automotive and food & packaging industries. Destaco 812 Series pneumatic hold down clamps are pneumatic versions of 201-U manual clamps. They are the smallest of Destaco's pneumatic hold down clamps. They are sensor ready for detecting both open & closed positions and feature an inbuilt flow restriction for eliminating the requirement of external flow control. Destaco 812-U-LC is used as a substitute to replace worn out assembly of Destaco 812-U clamp. It operates by combining with a pneumatic cylinder that utilises compressed air to move the clamp bar & hold workpieces. The double acting pneumatic cylinder consumes 0.003 cubic feet of air through an M5 port. This clamp assembly is equipped with a U bar for accommodating a spindle to hold down workpieces. It is completely self contained & requires only a pressure source for user safety. This clamp assembly has threaded holes on its base for quick & easy installation on flat surfaces and provides a maximum load holding capacity of 100 lb. Raptor Supplies also offers this clamp in a variant having a high operating temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does the brand offer Destaco 812-U-LC clamp in other configurations?

A. Destaco also offers a wide range of light & medium duty pneumatic clamps in a range of configurations, styles and materials (aluminium / steel).

Q. What are pneumatic toggle clamps?

A. Pneumatic toggle clamps feature the same basic design and operation as manual hold-down or straight-line toggle clamps, but are operated pneumatically. They are completely self-contained and require only a pressure source hook-up.

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.

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

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

Q. How is clamping force different from the holding force / capacity?

A. Clamping force or exerting force refers to the actual force that the clamp exerts onto the workpiece for holding it. The holding force or capacity provides a measure of the ideal strength of the clamp that is measured during the manufacturing process. The clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity, depending upon several factors like the position of spindles in the clamping bars and the opposing force applied on the clamp.

Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?

A. Yes, Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand & minimise wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.

Q. Does Destaco supply customised or special versions of their clamps according to applications?

A. Destaco can supply customised versions of clamps upon request. The customisations can range from a different colour of handles to the removal of Destaco logo from the clamps.
