Bessey 7200S-36 Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 36 in 8 in Throat

Product Description

The BESSEY 7200S-36 is a heavy-duty F-style sliding arm bar clamp built for demanding fabrication, woodworking, and metal-working applications. The clamp delivers 7,770 pounds of clamping pressure through a 0.925-inch-diameter high-carbon steel spindle and a forged steel T-handle. It rides on a 1-31/32 x 1-inch electrogalvanized steel rail measuring 36 inches in length, providing a maximum jaw opening of 36 inches. The 8-inch throat depth accommodates workpieces with substantial edge setback. Extra-heavy-duty steel pads protect the work surface while maintaining secure contact under high load. This is a professional-grade tool intended for trade and fabrication shop use.

The 7200S-36 fits into the Series 7200S product family and is suited for structural assemblies, cabinet carcass construction, welding fixture setups, and other applications requiring extended reach and high clamping force. The 36-inch rail length and 8-inch throat depth make it practical for panel glue-ups and large-frame clamping tasks where standard bar clamps fall short. The sliding arm design allows rapid jaw repositioning without fully backing off the spindle, which reduces setup time during multi-clamp operations. Licensed trades working in millwork shops, metal fabrication, and general construction will find this clamp compatible with high-volume daily use.

Installation Notes

Clamp installation and adjustment should be performed with the workpiece fully secured and any power equipment powered down. Inspect the rail, spindle threads, and pads before each use and replace worn or damaged components before applying load. Do not exceed the rated clamping pressure, and ensure pads are correctly seated against the workpiece to prevent slipping under load. This tool does not require installation into a system but should be stored in a dry environment to preserve the electrogalvanized finish.
