Overview
The Destaco 247-S is a vertical hold-down toggle clamp designed for manual workholding in assembly, fixture checking, and light production environments. This clamp applies downward clamping force by increasing the applied load via toggle mechanisms. It features a fixed design to secure and loosen workpieces without moving the clamp itself. With a maximum holding capacity of 4,400 N (1,000 lbf) and a clamp arm length of 124.2 mm, the 247-S provides reliable workpiece retention for repetitive clamping tasks.
Key Features
- 1000 lbf holding capacity: Toggle mechanism rated for 4,400 N (1,000 lbf) maximum holding force
- Solid bar design: Solid bar clamp arm style with larger bar guides for greater lateral stability
- Ergonomic handle: Ergonomically designed handle to minimise strain and pain while working
- Hardened steel construction: Accurately machined components with hardened and ground pivot pins and bushes
- Low maintenance: Virtually maintenance-free and only requires a few drops of lubricating oil to keep the unit in excellent condition
- Flange mount base: Flange-style base mounting for bolted installation to work surfaces
Technical Specifications
The Destaco 247-S is engineered for consistent performance in manual clamping applications. Key specifications include vertical handle orientation, 120° clamp bar opening angle, and a compact footprint suitable for crowded work tables and fixture plates.
Typical Applications
Suitable for applications such as fixture checking, light machining, assembling, testing, welding, drilling, milling and woodworking in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. Rated as excellent/high for assembly and checking fixtures applications. The 247-S excels where repeatable manual clamping and tool-free engagement/release are required without moving the base clamp assembly.
