De-sta-co 5131-R Straight Line Action Clamp 2499.88 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 5131-R is a standard straight line action clamp designed for workholding and fixturing applications where linear clamping force is required. It delivers a load capacity of 2499.88 lb (11120 N) through a round plunger with 1 inch of travel and an internal thread size of 5/16-18. The flanged base with four mounting holes allows secure, rigid attachment to fixture plates, jigs, and work surfaces. The straight red handle provides a clear visual indicator of clamp position. At 1.3 pounds, this is a compact but high-force clamp suited for production and assembly environments. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixturing technicians are the primary installers.

The 5131-R is used in manufacturing, metalworking, and industrial assembly applications where a straight-line clamping action is needed to secure workpieces during machining, welding, or inspection. The flanged base style makes it compatible with flat fixture plates and standard tooling setups. The carbon steel construction handles the demands of repetitive production cycles. This clamp is appropriate for both light fixture builds and heavier-duty workholding where consistent, repeatable clamping force is critical.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style straight line action clamp for standard industrial fixturing, jig building, and workholding setups requiring a flanged base mount and high linear clamping force.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or fixturing technician using standard hand tools. Power down or de-energize any associated machinery before mounting or adjusting the clamp. Secure all four mounting holes to the fixture base to ensure even load distribution and prevent clamp movement under force. Verify plunger thread engagement and clamp travel clearance before placing the assembly into service.
