Tech Update
Destaco Updates Its 800 Series Manual Clamps, Debuts Front-Mount-Base Manual Clamps
Destaco, Auburn Hills, MI, has com- pleted quality enhancements for three models within its 800 Series family of manual clamps. Receiving the most exten- sive quality enhancements: the Model 802-U clamp, which now includes an
upgraded air cylinder that ensures that the clamp’s exerting force is less than the maximum holding capacity when oper- ated at normal pressure, extending service life; new composite bearings on the trun- nion mount and cylinder pivot point that
eliminate metal-to-metal contact while requiring no lubrication; and a redesigned clevis bolt, along with increased rivet and pre-stop diam- eters, that also increase longevity.
In addition, the firm has expanded the range of its horizontal and vertical toggle-lock manual-clamp product line with the introduc- tion of a front-mount-
base model. The compact, space-saving design offers users additional flexibility in their workholding applications. The front-mount option is offered on four man- ual clamps for use with vertical and hori- zontal handle action.
