De-sta-co 601-SS Straight Line Action Clamp 100 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 601-SS is a standard straight line action clamp rated for 100 lb (444.82 N) of load capacity, designed for inline push-pull clamping in fixturing, jig building, and workholding applications. The clamp uses a thumb handle and a round plunger with an internal 8-32 thread, delivering 0.63 inches of plunger travel along a straight axis. Maximum mechanical advantage is 14:1 in pushing mode and 25:1 in pulling mode. The body and base are constructed entirely of stainless steel, making it suitable for wash-down environments, food processing fixtures, and other corrosion-sensitive applications. It ships with two nuts and a spindle included.

The 601-SS is used in light-duty production fixturing, quality inspection stations, and assembly jigs where a compact inline clamping action is required. The flanged base provides a stable three-hole mounting footprint suited to flat tooling plates and fixture bases. Its small overall envelope - 2.61 inches long and 1.27 inches tall - fits where larger toggle clamps cannot. Stainless steel construction supports use in environments where carbon steel clamps would corrode or contaminate the workpiece. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the typical installers.

Key Features

• 100 lb (444.82 N) rated load capacity with up to 25:1 mechanical advantage in pulling mode
• Straight line action delivers direct inline push or pull clamping force
• Full stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wash-down and food-grade environments
• Internal 8-32 plunger thread accepts standard spindle adjustments; spindle and two nuts included
• Flanged base with three mounting holes for secure attachment to flat fixture plates
• Compact footprint - 2.61 inches overall length, 1.27 inches overall height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit clamp for standard straight line action clamping applications requiring a flanged-base, thumb-handle configuration in stainless steel with an 8-32 internal plunger thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using standard machine screws through the three flanged-base mounting holes. Verify that the mating fixture surface is flat and that mounting hardware matches the 4.32 mm hole diameter. Adjust the spindle to set final plunger contact point before locking with the supplied nuts. Confirm the clamping axis is aligned with the intended push or pull direction to achieve rated mechanical advantage.
