Hertel CH-13005 Toggle Clamp Vertical 150 Lb U-bar

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-13005 is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for vertical clamping applications in fabrication, assembly, and workholding setups. It delivers a 150 lb holding capacity with a steel U-bar and a flanged base for secure four-point mounting. The T-handle features a 170-degree handle movement arc and allows 90 degrees of bar opening, giving the operator a wide range of motion for fast workpiece loading and unloading. Overall dimensions are 2.264 inches in length and 1.614 inches in height, making it a compact solution for tight fixture layouts. The clamp weighs 0.13 pounds. Steel construction with a zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in light industrial environments.

The CH-13005 is suited for light-duty fixturing in machine shops, woodworking benches, welding positioners, and assembly jigs where consistent repeatable clamping force is needed on flat or near-flat workpieces. The closed bar-end U-bar style is appropriate for clamping workpieces that require a centered contact point. The flanged base mounts to flat fixture plates, subplates, or wooden work surfaces using four mounting holes spaced 0.531 inches lengthwise and 0.626 inches in width. This clamp is a hand-install component requiring no special tooling for mounting and is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders.

Key Features

• 150 lb holding capacity for reliable light-duty workholding
• 170-degree T-handle movement for quick open-and-close cycling
• 90-degree bar opening provides clear access for workpiece loading
• Four-hole flanged base for rigid, low-profile mounting to fixture plates
• Closed-end U-bar style centers clamping force on the workpiece
• Zinc-finish steel construction resists corrosion in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hold-down toggle clamp for use in standard fixturing, jig-building, and workholding applications where a vertical-action flanged-base clamp with a 150 lb capacity is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Mount to a flat, rigid surface using four fasteners through the flanged base holes before applying clamping loads. Verify that the fixture surface can support the full clamping reaction force before use. Confirm spindle height adjustment is locked and bar closes fully over the workpiece before cycling under load.
