Bessey RSC-24 Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 24 Inches

Product Description

The BESSEY RSC-24 is a sliding arm bar clamp built for heavy-duty fastening and assembly work across woodworking, fabrication, and general trade applications. It delivers 1,100 pounds of clamping pressure through a forged steel T-handle and a high carbon steel spindle measuring 0.7 inches in diameter. The rail runs 24 inches in length with a cross-section of 63/64 inches by 15/32 inches, providing a rigid backbone that resists flex under load. An electrogalvanized finish protects the steel frame and pad from corrosion in demanding shop and job site conditions. The sliding arm design allows fast one-handed jaw positioning before final tightening.

The RSC-24 is suited for bench work and on-site clamping tasks where consistent, repeatable pressure is required. The 4.75 inch throat depth accommodates moderately thick stock and assemblies, making it practical for cabinet work, structural fabrication, and general metal or wood joining. The standard steel pad distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece surface. This clamp is part of the RSC series and is used by carpenters, ironworkers, millwrights, and general contractors who need a reliable bar clamp with a meaningful reach and high clamping force.

Installation Notes

Clamps should be installed and adjusted by hand before applying final torque with the T-handle to avoid workpiece damage. Ensure jaw faces are clean and pads are properly seated before applying pressure. Do not exceed the rated clamping force, and inspect the rail and spindle threads for wear or damage before each use. Standard shop safety practices apply when working with high-force clamping equipment.
