Gibraltar GSI60 Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 5-1/2 in 2600 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GSI60 is a sliding arm bar clamp designed for heavy-duty workholding applications in trade and industrial environments. Built on the GSI series rail platform, it delivers 2,600 lb of clamping pressure through an alloy steel spindle and T-handle mechanism. The frame and pad are constructed from forged steel with a nickel finish, providing corrosion resistance and long service life under repeated use. At 4.03 pounds and spanning 29.08 inches in length, this clamp is sized for substantial assemblies requiring firm, consistent pressure across the workpiece. Machinists, fabricators, and millwrights are the primary users of this tool.

The GSI60 is suited for metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general industrial assembly where a deep-throat bar clamp is required. The 5.5-inch throat depth accommodates workpieces with significant edge-to-clamp-point distances. The 30 mm x 15 mm rail size provides a stable sliding arm that resists deflection under load. This clamp is appropriate for both bench and fixture-mounting scenarios where repeatable clamping force is critical.

Key Features

• 2,600 lb clamping pressure for heavy-duty workholding
• 5.5-inch throat depth accommodates deep workpieces
• T-handle design allows controlled torque application by hand
• Forged steel frame and pad for high-strength, long-term durability
• Alloy steel spindle resists deformation under sustained load
• Nickel finish provides corrosion resistance in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition within the GIBRALTAR GSI series sliding arm bar clamp platform using the 30 mm x 15 mm rail format.

Installation Notes

Install and operate this clamp per standard workholding procedures applicable to bar clamps in fabrication or assembly environments. Power down any machinery and secure the workpiece before applying clamping pressure. Do not exceed the rated 2,600 lb clamping capacity. Inspect the spindle threads and rail slide mechanism for wear before each use to ensure consistent performance.
