Hertel CH-201 Toggle Clamp Horizontal 60 Lb U-bar Flanged Base

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-201 is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for horizontal clamping applications in industrial workholding, fixturing, and assembly operations. Built from steel with a zinc finish coating, it delivers a holding capacity of 60 pounds (266.89 N) in a compact footprint. The straight red handle travels 80 degrees to lock the U-bar, which opens 90 degrees for fast part loading and unloading. The flanged base mounts through four holes and is sized to fit tight fixture plates. This clamp is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and production technicians setting up jigs, fixtures, or assembly stations.

The CH-201 suits light-duty horizontal hold-down tasks in manufacturing, woodworking, and general fabrication environments. Its compact overall length of 3.091 inches and overall height of 0.697 inches make it appropriate for low-profile fixture plates where clearance is limited. The closed-end U-bar accommodates workpieces up to 0.315 inches under the bar. Each unit ships with one spindle, two nuts, and two washers for immediate installation with standard hand tools.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hold-down toggle clamp for horizontal workholding fixtures requiring a flanged base mount and U-bar clamping arm in light-duty applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or fixture builders using standard drill and tap equipment. Secure the flanged base through all four mounting holes to ensure even clamping force and prevent base flex under load. Verify clearance below the U-bar matches workpiece height before final mounting. Confirm all fasteners are fully tightened before operating the clamp under production conditions.
