The clamp features a straight red handle, a threaded U-hook bar assembly, and a flanged base for surface or sub-plate mounting. Overall length is 5.77 inches and overall height is 10.95 inches. The body is constructed from carbon steel for durability in demanding shop and manufacturing environments. A patented thumb control lever and included latch plate round out the assembly. Installation is straightforward for machine operators, maintenance technicians, and tooling specialists working with standard fixturing setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 344 is suited for vertical clamping orientations in repetitive production fixturing, welding positioners, assembly jigs, and quality-control stations. The U-hook bar style allows the clamp to engage a latch plate in a pull-down motion, keeping workpieces secure against a reference surface. The flanged base and standard mounting hole pattern simplify integration into existing tooling plates and fixture frames. This clamp is commonly found in light-to-medium industrial environments where consistent, repeatable clamping force and fast cycle times are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2,000 lb (8,896 N) rated load capacity for reliable workholding in production fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVertical pull-action design with 2.46-inch drawing movement for positive latch engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded U-hook bar allows adjustment to accommodate varying workpiece heights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlanged base with 0.34-inch diameter mounting holes for stable surface attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented thumb control lever included for controlled release operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel body construction for strength in industrial shop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard pull-action latch clamp suitable for industrial fixturing, jigs, welding positioners, and assembly tooling applications that require a vertical clamping orientation with a U-hook bar and flanged base mounting style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by tooling technicians or maintenance personnel familiar with industrial fixturing hardware. Power down or de-energize any automated equipment before mounting or adjusting the clamp. Use the flanged base mounting holes and appropriate fasteners rated for the application load to secure the clamp to the fixture plate. Adjust the threaded U-hook to the correct engagement depth before placing the assembly into service, and verify that the latch plate is properly aligned and anchored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,000 lb (8,896 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBar Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: U-Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrawing Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.46 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.77 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.94 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Distance Between Mounting Holes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Distance Between Mounting Holes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBar Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBar Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase to Center of Bar\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Latch Plate, Patented Thumb Control Lever, Threaded U-Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31162900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DE-STA-CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-STA-CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973839356210,"sku":"344","price":70.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ca01aa193a54dd44f45d23b3f224d00d.jpg?v=1789974720","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/de-sta-co-344-pull-action-latch-clamp-2000-lb-flanged-base","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
