Bessey cdf410 C-clamp 10 Inch 8000 Lb Drop Forged Steel

Product Description

The BESSEY cdf410 is an extra heavy duty C-clamp built for demanding clamping applications in fabrication, welding, and general metalworking environments. The drop forged steel body delivers a maximum clamping force of 8,000 lb with a 10-inch maximum jaw opening and a 6-inch throat depth. The black oxide finish on both the body and spindle resists corrosion and extends service life in shop and field conditions. A sliding T-handle provides controlled spindle actuation, while a swivel flat pad accommodates workpiece surfaces that are not perfectly parallel. This clamp is a standard tool for welders, ironworkers, fabricators, and millwrights who need reliable, repeatable holding force.

The cdf410 suits applications that require high clamping force across a wide jaw range, from zero to 10 inches. It is appropriate for securing steel plates, structural members, pipe assemblies, and similar workpieces during welding, drilling, or assembly operations. The standard throat profile fits typical benchtop and fixture work. The flat anvil shape distributes clamping load evenly on flat stock. This clamp is commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and on-site ironwork and structural steel jobs.

Key Features

• 8,000 lb clamping force for extra heavy duty holding applications
• 10-inch maximum jaw opening with a 6-inch throat depth
• Drop forged steel body for high structural integrity under load
• Black oxide finish on body and spindle for corrosion resistance
• Swivel flat pad accommodates non-parallel workpiece surfaces
• Sliding T-handle for easy spindle control and torque application

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extra heavy duty C-clamp for fabrication, welding, and structural assembly applications requiring a 10-inch jaw opening and high clamping load.

Installation Notes

Inspect the clamp body, spindle, and swivel pad for cracks or damage before each use. Always power down or de-energize equipment in the work area before positioning clamps on live assemblies. Do not use a pipe extension or cheater bar on the T-handle to increase torque beyond the rated clamping force. Clamps used in welding applications should be checked periodically for spatter buildup that may affect spindle thread movement.
