Kukamet 242 vertical clamp — solid holding arm, 5,000 N holding force

The Kukamet 242 vertical clamp is a lever-style, vertically mounted clamping device designed for secure fixturing and repeatable workholding in jigs, small production runs and workshop fixtures.

• Solid 118 mm holding arm
• Vertical foot for secure mounting
• Holding force up to 5,000 N
• Blackened finish for durability

Reliable clamping performance for continuous operation

The 242 is engineered to deliver consistent, measurable clamping results: a maximum holding force of 5,000 N combined with a maximum clamping pressure of 1,500 N ensures parts remain fixed under machining and assembly loads. The lever mechanism converts operator input into high clamping force with minimal movement, reducing cycle time and operator fatigue. In practice, the clear distinction between holding force (resistance to pull-out) and clamping pressure (contact force applied to the workpiece) helps planners select the correct device for pressing, milling or inspection tasks without over‑engineering the fixture.

Compact design that integrates easily into fixtures and jigs

With a 118 mm solid arm and a total mass of 1.266 kg, the clamp offers a favourable stiffness-to-weight ratio that simplifies fixture design. The vertical foot mounting makes it straightforward to install on plates and modular tooling systems, while the solid holding arm minimises deflection under load. The blackened finish reduces surface corrosion and is suited to workshop environments where lubricants and coolant are present. These features together lower assembly time and make retrofitting into existing toolrooms practical and fast.

Clear advantages for quality and process reliability

Selecting a robust lever clamp like this model supports process stability and reduces rework: the fixed 120° clamping angle gives predictable component positioning, and the mechanical construction requires minimal maintenance compared with pneumatics or hydraulics. For users seeking a simple, long‑lasting mechanical solution, the vertical clamping device provides repeatability and tactile feedback that help maintain cycle quality. Technical planners will appreciate the concise specification set that enables rapid comparison and integration into fixture bills of materials.
