De-sta-co 202 Toggle Clamp Vertical 200 Lb U-bar

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 202 is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in fabrication, assembly, and workholding operations. Built from carbon steel with a zinc finish coating, this clamp delivers a holding capacity of 200 pounds (890 N) through a fixed spindle U-bar with 105 degrees of bar opening. The flanged base provides four-point mounting for a secure, repeatable connection to fixtures, jigs, and tooling plates. The straight red handle travels 65 degrees to engage and release the clamp. Licensed trades and tooling professionals install this type of clamp where consistent, tool-free workpiece retention is required on production fixtures or welding jigs.

The DE-STA-CO 202 is suited for light-to-medium duty workholding in industrial, manufacturing, and production environments. Its compact overall footprint - 3.46 inches long and 4.33 inches tall - makes it practical for tight fixture layouts. The flanged base measures 1 inch in length and 1.56 inches in width. Applications include fixture building, welding positioners, and assembly jigs where a vertically acting clamp is needed to secure flat or near-flat workpieces against a surface.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation hold-down toggle clamp for vertical clamping applications on industrial fixtures, jigs, and tooling plates requiring a flanged base mount and U-bar style clamping bar.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and maintenance technicians. Mount the flanged base using four fasteners through the 0.22-inch diameter mounting holes, spaced 0.49 inches lengthwise and 1.06 inches widthwise between centers. The M6x1.0 spindle thread allows clamping height adjustment within 0.98 inches of spindle travel - set spindle height before final tightening of the locknut. Always confirm the clamp is fully seated in the over-center locked position before operating any machinery or process that relies on workpiece retention.
