Hertel CH-225-D Toggle Clamp Horizontal 500 Lb U-bar

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-225-D is a manual hold-down toggle clamp designed for horizontal handle orientation and flanged base mounting. It delivers a rated holding capacity of 500 pounds (2,224.1 newtons) and features a closed-end U-bar that swings through a 90-degree opening arc. The straight steel handle moves through 65 degrees to lock the clamp into position. The zinc-finished steel construction is suited for fixture work, welding tables, woodworking jigs, and other industrial or trade applications where repeatable workpiece holding is required. A licensed machinist, fabricator, or tooling technician typically installs and uses this clamp.

The CH-225-D fits applications where a low-profile horizontal clamp with a flanged base is needed. The flanged base accepts four mounting holes, making it straightforward to bolt down to flat fixture plates, jig tables, or fabrication workbenches. The 6.831-inch overall length and 1.874-inch overall height keep the clamp compact for tight fixture layouts. The included hardware consists of one spindle, two nuts, and two washers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or tooling technicians using standard hand tools. Power down or de-energize any associated machinery before mounting or adjusting the clamp. Use all four mounting holes and appropriately rated fasteners to secure the flanged base to the fixture surface. Verify the spindle adjustment provides full over-center engagement before placing the clamp into service.
