De-sta-co 344215 Clamp Latch Plate Hook Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 344215 is a replacement latch plate hook assembly designed for use with pull action latch clamps. Built from carbon steel, this hook assembly provides a rated load capacity of 2,000 pounds, making it a reliable wear component in clamping setups that see repeated cycling. It serves as a direct interface point between the clamp body and the workpiece or fixture, transferring clamping force securely. Maintenance technicians and tooling specialists typically install or replace this component during scheduled service or after visible wear has compromised clamping performance.

This hook assembly is intended for industrial tooling, fixture, and workholding applications where pull action latch clamps are part of the assembly or production line setup. It is compatible with the DE-STA-CO 344 and 344-R series pull action latch clamps. Typical use environments include manufacturing jigs, press fixtures, and weld tooling where repeatable clamping force and component integrity are critical to process consistency.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tooling or maintenance technician familiar with industrial clamping hardware. Before servicing, relieve all clamping force and ensure the clamp is fully open and de-energized if used in a pneumatic or powered setup. Inspect mating surfaces and fastener threads before reinstalling. Torque fasteners according to the clamp manufacturer specifications found in the applicable DE-STA-CO service documentation.
