De-sta-co 202-USS Toggle Clamp 250 Lb Vertical U-bar

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 202-USS is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in production fixtures, welding positioners, and workholding assemblies. Built from stainless steel throughout, it delivers a rated holding capacity of 250 pounds (1,110 N) with a straight handle that moves through 65 degrees to lock the U-bar in place. The U-bar opens 105 degrees for fast workpiece loading and unloading. The flanged base mounts with four holes and includes two nuts, flanged washers, and a hex head spindle for out-of-box installation. A zinc finish coating adds additional corrosion resistance. Machinists, fixture builders, and automation integrators are the primary installers.

The 202-USS suits light-duty to medium-duty workholding on machine tables, jig plates, and fabrication fixtures where vertical hold-down force is needed. The compact overall footprint of 3.46 inches in length and 4.33 inches in height fits closely spaced fixture layouts. The fixed-spindle bar end and 1/4-20 spindle thread size allow fine adjustment of clamping height. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wash-down environments, food-processing fixture applications, and settings where carbon steel would corrode.

Key Features

• 250 lb (1,110 N) rated holding capacity for reliable workpiece retention
• Stainless steel body and handle for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 105-degree bar opening for quick and unobstructed workpiece loading
• 65-degree handle movement provides positive over-center locking action
• 1/4-20 fixed spindle with 0.98 inch of spindle travel for clamping height adjustment
• Four-hole flanged base with 0.22 inch diameter mounting holes for secure fixture integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit toggle clamp for vertical hold-down applications in standard workholding fixtures and jig assemblies requiring a flanged-base, U-bar clamp with 250 lb capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fixture builders or machine operators using standard hand tools. Secure the flanged base through all four mounting holes to a rigid fixture plate before applying clamping loads. Verify spindle height adjustment before placing the assembly into production to ensure proper clamping force at the over-center lock point. Do not exceed the rated holding capacity of 250 lb.
