De-sta-co 217-UB Toggle Clamp 202.33 Lb Horizontal

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 217-UB is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for horizontal clamping applications in production, assembly, and fixturing environments. It features a U-bar arm with a fixed spindle end and a straight base, delivering a holding capacity of 202.33 pounds (900 N). The clamp body and handle are both constructed from carbon steel, providing durability in industrial settings. With a 61-degree handle movement and a 91-degree bar opening, the 217-UB allows fast workpiece loading and unloading without sacrificing clamping force. Licensed trades professionals and tooling technicians install this clamp in jigs, fixtures, and work-holding setups where repeatable, secure hold-down force is required.

The 217-UB is suited for light-to-medium-duty horizontal hold-down applications on machine tables, welding fixtures, and assembly jigs. Its straight base mounts flat to a surface using four mounting holes spaced 0.52 inches and 1.03 inches apart, making it compatible with standard fixture plate layouts. The clamp includes flanged washers and a spindle assembly. The red straight handle provides a clear visual indicator and comfortable actuation. Overall clamp length is 6.58 inches, making it appropriate for compact fixture designs where space is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tooling technicians or machine operators setting up production fixtures. Power down or de-energize any associated machinery before installing or adjusting the clamp. Mount to a flat surface using four fasteners through the provided mounting holes, ensuring the base sits flush to prevent rocking under load. Do not exceed the rated holding capacity of 202.33 lb, and verify spindle adjustment before placing the clamp into service.
