Bessey SQ-16 Welding F-style Clamp 2660 Lb Heavy Duty

Product Description

The BESSEY SQ-16 is a heavy-duty, F-style welding clamp built for high-load fabrication and metalworking applications. It features a forged sliding arm machined from tempered steel, giving it the structural integrity needed for repeated use under demanding conditions. The Acme threaded screw is made from high-carbon steel, spatter resistant, and tempered to deliver greater load capacity and extended service life. With a clamping force rated at 2660 pounds and a reach of 16 inches with a 5.5-inch throat depth, the SQ-16 is sized for substantial workpieces. It is a regular-duty clamp body paired with a heavy-duty pad, making it a reliable choice for welders, fabricators, and ironworkers who need consistent, secure clamping during tack welding and assembly.

The SQ-16 is suited for welding shops, metal fabrication facilities, and structural assembly environments where high clamping force and resistance to weld spatter are required. The F-style design allows fast repositioning across flat stock, angle iron, tube, and plate. The heavy-duty pad protects the workpiece surface and distributes clamping pressure evenly, reducing marking or deformation on finished material. It is appropriate for both production welding environments and job-site fabrication work where a dependable, heavy-bodied clamp is needed.

Key Features

• Forged sliding arm made from tempered steel for long service life and resistance to deformation under load
• High-carbon Acme threaded screw, spatter resistant and tempered for greater load capacity
• 2660 lb clamping force for heavy-duty holding during welding and fabrication
• 16-inch reach with 5.5-inch throat depth accommodates large workpieces
• Heavy-duty pad distributes pressure and protects workpiece surfaces
• F-style design allows quick arm adjustment and repositioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style F-clamp for use in welding and metal fabrication applications requiring a heavy-duty pad and high clamping force.

Installation Notes

The SQ-16 is typically used by welders, fabricators, and ironworkers during tack welding, assembly, and fixturing operations. Ensure the workpiece and clamp surfaces are free of loose scale or debris before applying clamping force. Do not exceed the rated clamping load, and inspect the threaded screw and sliding arm for wear or damage before each use. Personal protective equipment appropriate for welding environments should be worn during use.
