242 Vertical Toggle Clamp – vertical foot mounting, solid holding arm by Kukamet

The 242 is a vertical toggle clamp designed for secure workpiece fixation in jigs and fixtures where a compact footprint and strong holding capacity are required

• Solid holding arm, heavy-duty construction
• Vertical foot mount for compact installation
• 750 N clamping force, 2,500 N holding force
• Blackened finish for corrosion resistance

Secure fixation that reduces rework and cycle time

The 242 vertical toggle clamp delivers dependable fixation through a clear distinction between clamping force and holding force: an operational clamping force of 750 N generates the required contact pressure during clamping while a holding force of 2,500 N resists breakout and vibration when the fixture is under load. This difference ensures stable positioning of components in milling, drilling or assembly operations and reduces the risk of part movement that leads to rework. The measured force values allow planners to select the clamp with predictable performance and to compare it against alternative devices during process design.

Space-saving design and ergonomic handling for busy workstations

Built with a vertical foot mount, the clamp is intended for installations where horizontal space is limited or where multiple clamps must be mounted close together. The 88.5 mm arm and a 120° swing provide a practical working range for common jigs, while a mass-optimised overall weight of 0.32 kg keeps the fixture light without sacrificing rigidity. The solid holding arm simplifies manual operation and gives a reassuring mechanical feel during engagement and release, speeding up cycle times in manual and semi-automated setups.

Low-maintenance finish and robust construction for long service life

Finished in a blackened finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, this clamp is suited to workshop environments where oil, coolant mist or regular handling occur. The robust construction minimises wear on pivot points and reduces maintenance interventions, contributing to higher uptime and predictable tool life. Where repeatability is important, the combination of durable materials and a simple lever mechanism yields consistent clamping behaviour over many cycles, supporting quality assurance efforts without complex adjustment procedures.

FAQ

What is the difference between the clamping force and the holding force?
The 242 distinguishes clamping force (750 N), which is the active pressure applied during engagement, from holding force (2,500 N), which is the resistance to breakout once clamped; this ensures stable fixation under load.

Can the clamp be mounted on a thin fixture plate?
The vertical foot mount of the 242 is suitable for standard fixture plates; mounting requires secure fastening to provide full holding performance.

Is the finish corrosion resistant for workshop use?
The blackened finish on the 242 offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making the clamp appropriate for oily or humid shop environments.

What are the typical applications for this clamp?
This type of vertical toggle clamp is commonly used in milling, drilling, assembly jigs and welding fixtures where a compact clamp with strong holding capacity is required.

Does the clamp require regular maintenance or lubrication?
The 242 is designed for low maintenance; periodic inspection of pivot points and light lubrication will help maintain consistent performance over time.
