De-sta-co 305-USS Toggle Clamp 200 Lb Horizontal U-bar

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 305-USS is a manual hold-down toggle clamp with a horizontal handle orientation and a U-bar arm design. It delivers a holding capacity of 200 pounds (890 N) and is constructed entirely of stainless steel, making it well-suited for corrosive or wash-down environments. The clamp features a flanged base with four mounting holes for secure, rigid fixturing to jigs, fixtures, and workholding setups. A fixed spindle with a 10-32 thread size and 0.5 inches of travel provides precise, repeatable clamping pressure. The red T-handle moves through 170 degrees to lock and release, while the U-bar opens 90 degrees to clear workpieces. Machinists, fabricators, and tooling technicians install this clamp in production and assembly applications where fast, consistent part location is required.

The 305-USS is used in light-duty industrial fixturing, welding positioners, assembly jigs, and quality-inspection stations. Its compact footprint - 2.21 inches overall length and 1.43 inches overall height - makes it practical in tight fixture layouts where space between clamps is limited. The flanged base accommodates four mounting holes on a 0.53-inch length by 0.63-inch width bolt pattern, allowing straightforward bolt-down installation on flat fixture plates. The stainless steel construction with a zinc finish coating supports use in food processing, pharmaceutical, and marine adjacent environments where carbon steel clamps are not acceptable.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for industrial fixturing, jigs, and workholding assemblies that require a horizontal, hold-down toggle clamp with a flanged base and U-bar arm style.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, fixture builders, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Power down or de-energize any associated automated equipment before mounting or adjusting the clamp. Secure the flanged base through all four mounting holes using fasteners appropriate for the fixture plate material and load requirements. Adjust the fixed spindle using the included nuts and washers to set the correct clamping height before putting the fixture into service.
