De-sta-co 371-R Pull-action Latch Clamp 750 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 371-R is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated for 750 pounds (3,336 newtons) of load capacity. It uses a J-Hook bar style and a flanged base for secure surface mounting in fixture, jig, and tooling applications. The clamp features a red thumb handle with a patented thumb control lever and Toggle Lock Plus mechanism for reliable, repeatable latching. Overall length is 12.74 inches with a drawing movement of 5.38 inches. The body and base are constructed from carbon steel for durability in industrial environments. Machinists, fixture builders, and production assembly technicians are the primary installers of this clamp.

The 371-R is suited for horizontal clamping applications in manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly operations where a pull-action latch is required to secure workpieces or access panels. The flanged base allows direct bolting to flat surfaces or fixture plates. The threaded J-Hook is adjustable, providing flexibility across similar workholding setups. This clamp is appropriate for both light production jigs and heavier fixture work within its rated load capacity.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit latch clamp for horizontal pull-action workholding applications requiring a J-Hook bar style and flanged base mounting configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fixture builders, tool and die technicians, or production maintenance personnel. Mount the flanged base to a flat, rigid surface using appropriately sized fasteners through the 0.34 inch diameter mounting holes. Verify that the threaded J-Hook is adjusted and locked before applying load. Ensure the mounting surface can sustain the full rated load of 750 lb before placing the clamp into service.
