Hertel CH-40341 Pull-action Latch Clamp 1984 Lb

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-40341 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp designed for industrial workholding, fixturing, and clamping applications. It delivers a load and holding capacity of 1,984 pounds (8,825 N), making it suitable for demanding production and assembly environments. The clamp features a U-hook bar style and a straight red handle that travels 180 degrees, with a drawing movement of 2.5 inches. The body is constructed from steel with a zinc finish coating for corrosion resistance. Installation is handled by maintenance technicians, toolmakers, or fixture builders working in manufacturing or fabrication settings.

This clamp is used in horizontal clamping orientations on jigs, fixtures, molds, tooling plates, and production workholding setups. The flanged base mounts to flat surfaces using four mounting holes, making it straightforward to integrate into custom fixture designs. Its pull-action mechanism generates consistent clamping force with a single handle stroke, which supports repeatable part positioning in medium to high-volume production workflows.

Key Features

• 1,984 lb (8,825 N) load and holding capacity for heavy-duty workholding
• 2.5-inch drawing movement for consistent and repeatable clamping stroke
• U-hook bar style accommodates a range of workpiece and fixture configurations
• Flanged base with 4 mounting holes for secure, rigid surface mounting
• Steel construction with zinc finish coating for durability and corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit clamp for horizontal pull-action latch clamp applications on industrial jigs, fixtures, and tooling plates requiring a flanged base mount and U-hook bar style.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, fixture designers, or maintenance technicians. Secure the flanged base using all four mounting holes to prevent clamp movement under load. Verify that the mounting surface is flat and that fasteners are tightened evenly before applying clamping force. Inspect the latch mechanism and hook engagement before placing the clamp into production service.
