De-sta-co 301-SS Pull-action Latch Clamp 450 Lb Stainless

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 301-SS is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated at 450 lb (2001.7 N) of load capacity. Built from stainless steel throughout, it features a U-Hook bar style, a flanged mounting base, and a straight red handle. The drawing movement measures 4 inches, and the overall length is 8.33 inches. This clamp is designed for fixture, jig, and workholding applications where a secure, repeatable latch is required. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers, though it sees use across any trade or production environment that demands corrosion-resistant clamping hardware.

The 301-SS suits horizontal clamping orientations in industrial fixtures, welding positioners, assembly jigs, and similar setups where the clamp must pull and hold a workpiece or panel in place. The flanged base allows direct bolted mounting to flat surfaces. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, washdown, or chemically aggressive environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode. The compact footprint and standard mounting hole pattern make it a practical fit for both new fixture builds and direct replacement of worn clamps on existing tooling.

Key Features

• 450 lb (2001.7 N) load capacity for reliable pull-action holding force
• Stainless steel body and bar for corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments
• Horizontal clamping orientation with 4-inch drawing movement
• U-Hook bar style with 0.56-inch bar width and 0.13-inch bar thickness
• Flanged base with 0.28-inch mounting hole diameter for secure bolted installation
• Straight red handle for positive grip and visual identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct upgrade for horizontal pull-action latch clamps in industrial fixture and workholding applications requiring a flanged-base, U-Hook configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, fixture builders, or maintenance technicians. Secure the flanged base to a flat, rigid mounting surface using fasteners appropriate for the load and environment. Verify that the U-Hook bar aligns with the keeper or strike on the mating surface before fully tightening mounting hardware. Confirm that the 4-inch drawing movement is unobstructed throughout the full range of clamp travel before placing the fixture into service.
