De-sta-co 323-M-25 Pull-action Latch Clamp 360 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 323-M-25 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated for 360 lb (1600 N) of clamping load. It uses a U-Hook bar and a straight red handle to generate drawing movement of 1.18 inches, securing workpieces or panels with a consistent, repeatable pull force. The flanged base mounts to flat surfaces using four bolts through a compact footprint. Carbon steel construction gives the body and base the rigidity required for industrial fixture, jig, and tooling applications. Installers in manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly environments rely on this clamp type for repetitive clamping cycles where fast manual actuation is needed.

This latch clamp is suited for horizontal clamping orientations on production fixtures, weld jigs, machining setups, and general workholding applications. The included latch plate, threaded U-Hook, and thumb control lever are supplied with the clamp, reducing the need for separate hardware sourcing. The flanged base style allows direct surface mounting where a stable, low-profile footprint is required. Its compact overall length of 5.23 inches and low profile make it practical in tight fixture layouts where clearance is limited.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style horizontal pull-action latch clamp for use in industrial fixturing, jig building, and workholding applications where a flanged-base, U-Hook configuration is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fixture builders, tooling technicians, or maintenance trades using standard hand tools. Mount the flanged base to a rigid flat surface, ensuring all four mounting fasteners are fully seated before applying clamping load. Verify that the threaded U-Hook adjustment provides the correct drawing movement for the application before putting the clamp into production use. Always disengage the clamp and relieve any stored load before adjusting hook position or removing the clamp from the fixture.
