De-sta-co 207-38 Toggle Clamp 500 Lb Vertical Flanged Base

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 207-38 is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in industrial, manufacturing, and fabrication environments. It delivers a holding capacity of 500 pounds (2220 N) through a solid bar with a closed end, secured to a flanged base with four mounting holes. The straight handle travels 57 degrees to lock the bar, which opens 99 degrees for workpiece loading and unloading. The clamp body and handle are both constructed from carbon steel with a zinc finish coating, and the handle is finished in red for quick visual identification. Licensed technicians and setup operators in production and tooling environments install this clamp as a workholding component on fixtures, jigs, and assembly tables.

The 207-38 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty workholding in fixture and jig applications where consistent, repeatable clamping force is required. The vertical handle orientation and flanged base make it a common choice for mounting directly to flat fixture plates or welding tables. The included bolt retainer keeps hardware captured during setup changes. The 5/16-18 spindle thread allows fine adjustment of bar height to accommodate variations in workpiece thickness.

Key Features

• 500 lb (2220 N) holding capacity for reliable workholding on fixture and jig setups
• Solid bar with closed end and 99-degree bar opening for easy workpiece loading
• 57-degree handle travel provides fast, repeatable lock and release cycles
• Flanged base with four mounting holes for stable, rigid fixture mounting
• 5/16-18 spindle thread with 2-1/4 inch spindle length for bar height adjustment
• Carbon steel construction with zinc finish coating for corrosion resistance in shop environments
• Includes bolt retainer to keep hardware captured during changeovers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style manual hold-down toggle clamp for use in industrial fixture, jig, and workholding applications requiring a vertical-handle, flanged-base configuration with 500 lb holding capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, toolmakers, or fixture builders using standard drill and tap equipment to prepare the mounting surface. Verify that the fixture plate or table can support the clamping loads before mounting. Torque all four mounting fasteners evenly and confirm the spindle is adjusted to achieve full mechanical advantage at the locked position before putting the clamp into production use. Inspect the toggle action and bar travel periodically to ensure no binding or wear has developed.
