De-sta-co 215-USS Toggle Clamp 200 Lb Horizontal U-bar

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 215-USS is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for horizontal clamping applications requiring reliable, repeatable workholding force. It delivers 200 lb (890 N) of holding capacity through a straight-handle, horizontal actuation mechanism with a 78-degree handle movement and an 87-degree bar opening. The U-bar design with a fixed spindle provides consistent downward clamping pressure, making it a standard choice for jigs, fixtures, and assembly workstations. The entire body and handle are constructed from stainless steel, with a zinc finish coating on applicable components, suited for environments where corrosion resistance matters.

This clamp is used in industrial and manufacturing settings where parts must be held securely during machining, welding, assembly, or inspection operations. The flanged base with four mounting holes allows direct bolt-down installation to fixture plates, workbenches, or fabricated bases. The included spindle, two nuts, and two washers provide everything needed for immediate setup. The 1/4-20 spindle thread with 1.26 inches of spindle travel allows fine adjustment of clamping height to accommodate different workpiece thicknesses.

Key Features

• 200 lb (890 N) holding capacity for secure workholding in light to medium-duty applications
• Stainless steel body and handle construction with red handle for quick visual identification
• 78-degree handle movement and 87-degree bar opening for efficient one-hand operation
• 1/4-20 fixed spindle with 1.26 inches of travel for clamping height adjustment
• Flanged base with four mounting holes for rigid, stable fixture mounting
• Includes spindle, two nuts, and two washers - no additional hardware required for basic installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit toggle clamp for horizontal hold-down applications on standard fixture plates and workholding systems accepting a flanged four-hole base pattern with 1.06 inch length and 0.87 inch width between mounting holes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, toolmakers, or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Mount the flanged base securely to the fixture plate using fasteners through all four mounting holes before applying clamping loads. Verify spindle height adjustment against the workpiece before locking the spindle nuts to ensure the clamp reaches full mechanical advantage at the closed position. Do not exceed the rated 200 lb holding capacity during operation.
