De-sta-co 2002-UB Toggle Clamp Vertical 600 Lb U-bar

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 2002-UB is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in fixtures, jigs, and workholding setups. It delivers a 600 lb (2670 N) holding capacity and features a U-bar with a fixed spindle end, giving operators a reliable mechanical lock when the handle is driven to the over-center position. The straight base mounts flat to a work surface using six mounting holes. Carbon steel construction throughout and a zinc finish coating provide durability in production and fabrication environments. Handle movement spans 66 degrees and the bar opens 75 degrees for clear part access during loading and unloading cycles.

This clamp is suited for light-to-medium-duty workholding on machine tables, welding fixtures, assembly jigs, and inspection stations. The straight base and vertical handle orientation make it a common choice where vertical clamping force is needed in a compact footprint. The included flanged washers and spindle assembly allow immediate installation without sourcing additional hardware. The M6x1.0 spindle thread allows fine height adjustment to accommodate varying workpiece thicknesses. Machinists, welders, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this clamp type.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-installation hold-down toggle clamp for vertical workholding fixtures, jigs, and assembly stations requiring a straight-base, U-bar clamp with a 600 lb capacity.

Installation Notes

Install using the six mounting holes on the straight base; verify the mounting surface is flat and the fasteners are torqued evenly to prevent rocking. Adjust the spindle height before final installation so the clamp reaches full over-center lock with the workpiece seated. Always confirm the clamp is fully latched to the over-center position before applying load - a partially engaged toggle clamp will not hold rated capacity. No special tools are required beyond standard hand tools appropriate for the fastener size.
