De-sta-co 341 Pull-action Latch Clamp 2000 Lb U-hook

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 341 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated at 2,000 pounds load capacity, designed for industrial fixturing, jigs, and workholding applications. The clamp features a carbon steel body with a flanged base for secure panel or fixture mounting. A straight red handle and a patented thumb control lever provide positive latch engagement and quick release. Overall length is 8.2 inches with a drawing movement of 2.5 inches, making it suited for applications that require controlled horizontal pulling force with a compact footprint. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and automation fixture builders are the primary installers of this clamp type.

The DE-STA-CO 341 is used in production fixturing, welding jigs, and assembly workholding where a reliable horizontal latch is required. The flanged base allows the clamp to be surface-mounted directly to fixture plates, machine tables, or fabricated frames. The included threaded U-hook and latch plate allow adjustment of the engagement depth to match the workpiece. This clamp is appropriate for both light industrial and heavier-duty repetitive-cycle applications where a 2,000-pound rated capacity is sufficient.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fixture builders, machinists, or maintenance technicians. Mount the flanged base to a flat surface using fasteners through the 0.33-inch diameter mounting holes before connecting the U-hook to the latch plate. Verify the drawing movement adjustment on the threaded U-hook matches the required clamping depth before placing the assembly into service. Disengage all clamping force and secure any related machinery before servicing or adjusting the clamp.
