Hertel CH-101-D Toggle Clamp Vertical 397 Lb U-bar

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-101-D is a manual hold-down toggle clamp with a vertical handle orientation and a flanged base, designed to secure workpieces during machining, welding, assembly, or fixture operations. It delivers a holding capacity of 397 pounds (1765.94 N) and features a U-bar with a closed bar end for positive workpiece engagement. The handle moves through 60 degrees to lock and release, while the U-bar opens 100 degrees for clear workpiece access. The clamp body and handle are constructed from steel with a zinc finish coating, and the straight handle is finished in red for quick visual identification. Machinists, fabricators, and fixture builders install this clamp where repeatable, secure hold-down force is required.

The CH-101-D fits standard fixturing, jig-building, and workholding applications in production and job-shop environments. The flanged base with four mounting holes allows direct bolting to fixture plates, welding tables, or custom jig frames. The 0.75 inch by 1.22 inch mounting hole pattern and 0.25 inch diameter holes are compatible with common fixture plate layouts. The spindle is adjustable and ships with one spindle, two nuts, and two washers for out-of-box installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Mount the flanged base to the fixture plate or work surface using four fasteners through the 0.25 inch diameter mounting holes before applying any clamping load. Confirm the spindle height is adjusted to match workpiece thickness before cycling the clamp under load. Do not exceed the rated holding capacity of 397 pounds.
