De-sta-co 353-65 Pull-action Latch Clamp 2102 Lb Horizontal

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 353-65 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated to 2,102 pounds (9,350 N) of load capacity. It features a whale tail handle in black and is constructed from carbon steel throughout. The clamp draws 0.47 inches of movement to secure a load, providing a positive latching action suited for fixture, jig, and workholding applications. With an overall length of 9.5 inches and an overall height of 2.46 inches, this unit delivers a compact footprint without sacrificing holding strength. It ships with a latch plate and tapered bolt assembly included. Machinists, toolmakers, and production fixture technicians are the primary installers of this style of clamp.

The 353-65 is designed for horizontal clamping orientations in industrial and manufacturing environments. Typical applications include welding fixtures, assembly jigs, tooling plates, and workholding setups where a pull-action latch is preferred over a toggle mechanism. The whale tail handle allows for quick manual engagement and release, making it practical for repetitive-cycle production lines. The carbon steel body handles the mechanical stresses common in light-to-medium industrial duty cycles.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pull-action latch clamp for horizontal fixture and workholding applications requiring a 2,102 lb rated clamp with a 0.27-inch mounting hole diameter and 1.57-inch center-to-center mounting hole spacing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using standard hand tools. Before mounting, verify that the base material and fastener hardware are rated to handle the full 2,102 lb load capacity. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and that mounting fasteners engage the 0.27-inch diameter holes with adequate thread engagement. Cycle the clamp through its full drawing movement before putting the fixture into service to confirm proper latch engagement.
