De-sta-co 201-TU Hold-down Toggle Clamp 100 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 201-TU is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in fixtures, jigs, and workholding setups. It delivers a 100 lb (440 N) holding capacity through a compact carbon steel body with a zinc finish. The T-handle configuration moves through 55 degrees to lock the U-bar in place, and the U-bar opens 100 degrees for fast part loading and unloading. At 2.04 inches overall length and 3.08 inches overall height, this clamp fits tight fixture layouts. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, tooling engineers, and production fixture builders.

This clamp is suited for light-duty workholding on manual assembly lines, inspection fixtures, welding positioners, and fabrication jigs. The flanged base mounts through four holes on a 0.63 inch by 0.94 inch bolt pattern, making it compatible with standard fixture plate layouts. The included fixed spindle uses an M5x0.8 thread with 0.73 inches of spindle travel, allowing fine adjustment of clamping pressure on the workpiece. The red T-handle provides a clear visual indicator of clamp state in production environments.

Key Features

• 100 lb (440 N) holding capacity for light-duty workholding
• U-bar style with 100-degree bar opening for quick part access
• 55-degree handle movement locks and releases the clamp with minimal effort
• Fixed spindle, M5x0.8 thread, 0.73 inches of travel for precise clamping depth adjustment
• Flanged base with four mounting holes and zinc-finished carbon steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Includes two flanged washers, two nuts, and spindle - ready to mount

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fixture component for light-duty manual hold-down toggle clamp applications requiring a vertical U-bar clamp with a flanged base and M5x0.8 fixed spindle.

Installation Notes

Mounting is performed by tooling or fixture technicians using standard metric fasteners through the four-hole flanged base pattern. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and that all four holes are used to prevent rocking under clamping load. Adjust the fixed spindle to set clamping height before final torque of the base hardware. Verify the bar opens and closes through its full range of motion without binding before putting the fixture into production use.
