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

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 202-TU is a manual hold-down toggle clamp with a vertical handle orientation, U-bar, and flanged base designed for workholding applications in machining, welding, and assembly operations. It delivers a holding capacity of 200 pounds (890 newtons) with a fixed spindle bar end and a zinc-coated carbon steel construction for corrosion resistance. The T-handle provides a firm grip, and the 65-degree handle movement locks the bar securely against the workpiece. Licensed trades and production technicians install this clamp on fixtures, jigs, and work tables where repeatable, tool-free clamping is required.

This clamp is suited for light-duty industrial and fabrication environments, including metalworking jigs, woodworking fixtures, and assembly line holddowns. The flanged base mounts flush to a flat surface using four mounting holes, making it a practical choice for both permanent fixture installations and temporary setups. The included hardware - two flanged washers, two nuts, and the spindle - allows direct installation without additional fasteners. The 105-degree bar opening gives adequate clearance for loading and unloading workpieces quickly.

Installation Notes

Install using standard drill and tap equipment to match the four mounting hole pattern on a flat, rigid surface. Torque mounting fasteners per the fixture design requirements using the included hardware. Always release clamp pressure and confirm the workpiece is clear before repositioning. Inspect the spindle, nuts, and bar for wear or deformation at regular service intervals.
