De-sta-co 353-35 Pull-action Latch Clamp 2801 Lb Horizontal

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 353-35 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated for a load capacity of 2,801 pounds (12,460 N). Built from carbon steel with a black whale tail handle, this clamp is engineered for high-force holding applications in industrial fixtures, jigs, and workholding setups. The pull-action design generates clamping force through a linear draw motion, with a drawing movement of 0.47 inches. At 9.5 inches overall length and 2.46 inches overall height, it fits into tight fixture layouts without sacrificing hold strength. It ships with a latch plate and tapered bolt assembly included. Machinists, toolmakers, and production fixture technicians are the primary installers.

This latch clamp is suited for horizontal clamping orientations in production and assembly environments where repetitive, reliable hold-down force is required. Typical applications include welding fixtures, machining jigs, assembly line tooling, and any workholding station that demands a fast-action, high-capacity latch. The horizontal body orientation makes it a practical choice for side-mount fixture designs where vertical clearance is limited. The included latch plate and tapered bolt assembly allow for direct installation without sourcing additional hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style horizontal pull-action latch clamp for industrial fixture, jig, and workholding applications requiring high-capacity draw clamping.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using standard drill and fastener equipment. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and the mounting holes are drilled to the specified 0.27-inch diameter before securing the clamp body. Verify that the latch plate alignment matches the draw path before final tightening to prevent side-loading the clamp mechanism. Disengage all clamping force and confirm the fixture is clear of workpieces before servicing or adjusting the clamp.
