De-sta-co 609 Straight Line Action Clamp 300 Lb

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 609 is a standard straight line action clamp designed for secure workholding in industrial and manufacturing applications. It delivers a 300 lb (1334.47 N) load capacity through a round plunger with 1.25 inches of travel, allowing controlled clamping force in a compact footprint. The plunger measures 0.44 inches in diameter with internal 5/16-18 thread for tip or pad attachments. Built from carbon steel with a flanged base, the 609 is suited for fixture builders, toolmakers, and production line technicians who need reliable, repeatable clamping action in tight setups.

This clamp is used in jig and fixture applications across light manufacturing, welding, assembly, and machining environments. The straight handle with red grip provides clear visual confirmation of clamp state and easy manual actuation. The flanged base with four mounting holes allows direct bolting to fixture plates, tombstones, or workholding surfaces. The straight line action design delivers linear plunger force, making it appropriate for applications where over-center toggle clamps are not practical or where a compact inline profile is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style straight line action clamp suitable for industrial jig, fixture, and workholding applications requiring a flanged-base, inline clamping configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fixture builders or toolmakers using standard hand tools. Shut down any powered equipment before mounting or adjusting the clamp. Secure all four base mounting holes to the fixture plate before applying clamping loads to prevent rocking or misalignment. Verify plunger tip thread engagement and confirm that clamping force is aligned with the workpiece contact point before use in production.
