Gibraltar G12CS Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 2-1/4 in 600 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G12CS is a sliding arm bar clamp designed for secure workholding in fabrication, assembly, and general metalworking applications. It delivers 600 pounds of clamping pressure through a T-handle spindle made from alloy steel, with a forged steel frame and pad providing the structural integrity needed for demanding shop use. The rail measures 13.50 millimeters by 6.50 millimeters, and the throat depth reaches 2.25 inches, giving users adequate clearance for a wide range of workpiece thicknesses. A nickel finish provides basic corrosion resistance for shop environments.

The G12CS is suited for light industrial and professional trade shop use where a reliable, adjustable bar clamp is needed for holding workpieces during welding, machining, assembly, or fitting operations. The sliding arm design allows for quick repositioning along the rail, making it practical for repetitive clamping tasks. It is commonly used by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and general tradeworkers who need a compact, fixed-throat clamp in a Series G configuration.

Key Features

• 600 lb clamping pressure for firm, reliable workholding
• 2.25-inch throat depth accommodates a range of workpiece sizes
• T-handle design allows controlled spindle tightening
• Forged steel frame and pad for high-strength durability
• Alloy steel spindle resists wear under repeated clamping loads
• Nickel finish for basic corrosion protection in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use bar clamp for applications requiring a Series G sliding arm configuration with a 2.25-inch throat depth and 13.50 x 6.50 millimeter rail size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or tradeworkers in shop settings. Ensure the workpiece is fully seated against the clamp pad before applying clamping pressure to avoid slippage or workpiece damage. Do not exceed the rated 600 lb clamping pressure. Inspect the spindle and frame for wear or damage before each use.
