130mm Vertical Clamp With Vertical Base, 4.5kN Thrust, 5kN Holding Force, Galvanised Heavy-Duty Arm - Kukamet

Benefit from the combination of a massive holding arm, a safety locking mechanism and zinc-plated corrosion protection for reliable, repeatable clamping in production environments. Order the clamp directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for integration advice.

Vertical clamp 212 – Kukamet, zinc-plated with safety lock

The vertical clamp 212 is a lever-operated holding solution for fixtures and workbenches, designed for secure, repeatable clamping in industrial and workshop applications.

• Vertical mounting with foot base
• Zinc-plated body resists corrosion
• 130 mm robust holding arm
• Safety locking mechanism included

Reliable clamping that keeps production moving

The vertical toggle design delivers consistent closing action and rapid engagement, translating into shorter cycle times and fewer handling errors. With a clamping force max 4,500 N and holding force max 5,000 N, the device secures workpieces reliably during machining, assembly or inspection operations. The term clamping force refers to the active force applied to press the part in position, while holding force indicates the static retention capacity once the clamp is engaged. This distinction helps planners choose the right clamp for load-bearing or positioning tasks and reduces downtime due to slipping or repositioning.

Durable construction for long service life

Constructed from zinc-plated steel, the clamp resists surface corrosion common in workshop atmospheres, extending maintenance intervals and protecting contact faces. The massive holding arm increases rigidity under load and reduces vibration transfer to the clamped component, which benefits precision tasks. A safety locking mechanism prevents accidental release during vibration or impact; this mechanical lock secures the lever in its clamped position and supports operator confidence during repetitive operations.

Simple integration into fixtures and workstations

The vertical foot mounting allows direct attachment to plates, clamps or bespoke fixtures, offering compact installation and stable support. At 130 mm arm length and a weight of 1.32 kg, the unit balances accessibility with a small footprint, suitable for tight assembly cells or machine tables. The lever-operated action enables quick manual cycle times without auxiliary drives, while the robust design minimises the need for frequent replacements—supporting continuous production and predictable maintenance planning.

FAQ

What is the difference between clamping force and holding force?
Clamping force refers to the active pressing force (here 4,500 N) applied during engagement; holding force indicates the static retention capability (here 5,000 N) after the clamp is closed. The Kukamet vertical clamp 212 (SKU 212-5-D-L-C1) is specified with both values to support correct selection for machining and fixturing tasks.

Is the clamp suitable for workshop environments with occasional moisture?
Yes. The zinc-plated finish on the Kukamet vertical clamp provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general workshop atmospheres, helping to protect surfaces and prolong service life without specialised coatings.

How is the clamp mounted and what does vertical mounting mean?
The clamp uses a vertical foot mounting arrangement, meaning the base is fixed to a horizontal surface so the lever and arm operate in a vertical plane—ideal for bench fixtures and machine tables where a compact, upright clamp is required.

What advantages does the 130 mm arm length provide?
A 130 mm arm gives a good balance between reach and leverage, allowing secure clamping of a variety of workpiece sizes while keeping the operating lever within comfortable reach for manual actuation.

Can this lever clamp be used for repetitive automated sequences?
The robust lever action and safety locking mechanism of the Kukamet vertical clamp 212 make it well suited to repetitive manual cycles and semi-automated stations; for fully automated use, ensure compatibility with the cell’s actuation methods and cycle timing.
