Hertel CH-201-A Toggle Clamp Horizontal 60 Lb Flanged Base

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-201-A is a manual hold-down toggle clamp with a horizontal handle orientation and a flanged base designed for workholding and fixturing applications. Rated at 60 lb holding capacity, it uses a solid bar with a fixed spindle end to secure workpieces against a surface. The clamp operates with 80 degrees of handle movement and a 90-degree bar opening, allowing fast cycling between clamped and open positions. Built from steel with a zinc finish, it is suited for light industrial, fabrication, and assembly setups where a low-profile, repeatable clamp is needed.

This clamp is used in bench-top fixturing, jigs, light machining setups, and assembly line workholding. Its compact footprint and flanged base make it straightforward to mount on flat surfaces, fixture plates, or custom jig boards. The red straight handle provides a clear visual indicator of clamp state. At 0.5 pounds, the CH-201-A is easy to reposition across multiple fixture points. Machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators typically specify this style for applications requiring quick part loading and unloading without tooling changes.

Key Features

• 60 lb holding capacity suitable for light workholding and fixturing tasks
• 80-degree handle movement with 90-degree bar opening for fast open-and-close cycling
• Solid bar with fixed spindle end for consistent clamping force
• Flanged base with 4 mounting holes for stable, flat-surface installation
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Compact overall length of 3.189 inches and low profile at 0.697 inches overall height

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount horizontal hold-down toggle clamp for standard flat fixture plates, jig boards, and workholding surfaces that accept a 4-hole flanged base pattern with 0.170-inch mounting hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fabricators using standard hand tools. Secure all four mounting holes with appropriate fasteners through the flanged base before applying clamping loads. Verify that the fixture surface is flat and that the spindle height is adjusted to suit the workpiece thickness before final tightening. Do not exceed the rated 60 lb holding capacity.
