De-sta-co 506-MB Toggle Clamp Vertical 5058.2 Lb Weldable

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 506-MB is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications requiring high holding force. It delivers a rated holding capacity of 5,058.2 pounds (22,500 N) through a forged alloy steel body, making it suitable for heavy-duty workholding, fixture building, and fabrication setups. The weldable base allows permanent integration into custom jigs, welding fixtures, or assembly tables. The 200-degree bar opening provides wide clearance for loading and positioning workpieces quickly. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, welders, and fixture technicians are the primary installers of this clamp type.

This clamp is used in industrial manufacturing, fabrication shops, and custom welding fixture applications where repeatable, high-force hold-down is required. The vertical handle orientation suits installations where overhead clearance is limited or where the operator actuates the clamp from above the workpiece. Its weldable base eliminates bolt-pattern constraints, giving fabricators full freedom to position it anywhere on a steel fixture plate or frame.

Key Features

• 5,058.2 lb (22,500 N) rated holding capacity for demanding workholding applications
• Forged alloy steel construction throughout body and handle for high strength and durability
• Weldable base for permanent, bolt-free integration into custom steel fixtures
• 200-degree bar opening for wide workpiece clearance and fast loading
• Oxide finish coating for basic corrosion resistance in shop environments
• Vertical handle orientation for compact, top-down actuation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount, weldable hold-down toggle clamp for custom steel welding fixtures, jigs, and fabrication tables requiring vertical clamping force up to 5,058.2 lb.

Installation Notes

Installation requires welding the base directly to a steel fixture or plate; ensure the base material and weld joint are rated for the intended clamping load. Allow welds to cool fully and inspect the joint before applying clamping force. Always verify the bar and spindle assembly are properly adjusted for the workpiece thickness before use. Wear appropriate PPE during welding and do not exceed the rated holding capacity of 5,058.2 lb.
