De-sta-co FL-120/-- Straight Line Action Clamp 3000N Flange Mount

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO FL-120/-- is a variable-stroke straight line action clamp designed for industrial workholding and fixturing applications. It delivers a 3,000 N (675 lb) load capacity through a hand lever actuated, two-hand operating method, providing positive clamping force in a compact, repeatable package. The M6 threaded plunger measures 12 mm in diameter and accepts a maximum rapid stroke of 300 mm with a maximum clamping stroke of 3 mm. The flange mount configuration allows secure attachment to tooling plates, fixture bases, and production jigs. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture technicians are the primary installers of this clamp type.

This clamp is suited for production line workholding, assembly fixtures, and machining setups where a straight-line clamping action is required. The two-hand actuation requirement supports operator safety protocols in environments where pinch-point hazards are present. The variable stroke design accommodates workpiece height variation across a single fixture setup. Overall height is 68 mm, and overall length varies with stroke selection: 228 mm at 100 mm stroke, 328 mm at 200 mm stroke, and 428 mm at 300 mm stroke, allowing layout flexibility on fixture plates of varying depth.

Key Features

• 3,000 N (675 lb) load capacity for reliable workpiece retention
• Variable stroke design with up to 300 mm rapid stroke and 3 mm clamping stroke
• M6 threaded plunger, 12 mm diameter, for precise force application
• Flange mount configuration with 6.5 mm mount hole diameter and 52 mm hole spacing
• Two-hand actuation supports operator safety requirements in production environments
• Compact 68 mm overall height minimizes fixture profile

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount straight line action clamp for industrial fixture plates, tooling bases, and workholding systems requiring flange-mount attachment and M6 plunger threading.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture engineers using standard metric fasteners through the flange mount holes. Verify that the fixture base material provides adequate thread engagement and load-bearing capacity for the rated 3,000 N clamping force before putting the clamp into production. Confirm clearance for full stroke travel before securing all mounting fasteners. Always de-energize any associated pneumatic or hydraulic circuits on the fixture before performing maintenance or adjustment on the clamp assembly.
