Kukamet Vertical clamp »242« — vertical clamping device with solid arm and vertical foot

A robust vertical clamp designed for secure fixturing in metalworking and assembly applications, offering a solid holding arm and a vertical foot for fixed mounting.

• Solid holding arm for high rigidity
• Vertical foot mounting for secure installation
• Max clamping force 1,500 N
• Holding force up to 5,000 N

Reliable rigidity for repetitive clamping tasks

The Kukamet 242 vertical clamp delivers dependable rigidity through its solid holding arm, which is designed to resist bending under load and to maintain repeatable positioning. The robust construction is particularly suitable for fixtures where consistent clamping pressure is required across many cycles. The combination of a substantial arm and a blackened finish provides corrosion resistance while also reducing reflective surfaces in workshop environments. Thanks to a 168 mm arm, the device can reach common workpiece geometries without excessive overhang, reducing lever effects and improving component stability during machining or assembly processes.

Secure mounting and measurable performance

Built with a vertical foot, this clamping device is intended for secure bolted installation to fixture plates or machine beds, ensuring a fixed reference position that supports precision operations. Performance figures are clearly stated: a maximum clamping force of 1,500 N and a maximum holding force of 5,000 N, enabling selection based on required clamp load and safety margins. The clamp’s 120° actuation angle is optimised for compact installation while still providing a comfortable operating travel. These quantifiable values facilitate planning in jigs and fixtures and support process reliability in production environments.

Practical benefits for workshop integration

Durability and ease of integration are emphasised by the simple geometry and robust finish of the unit. The blackened finish helps to limit corrosion and wear in everyday workshop conditions, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. The clamp’s mass and kinematics are engineered to provide a predictable force profile, which simplifies risk assessments for clamping strategies. Where space is constrained, the vertical orientation reduces the device’s footprint while maintaining strong axial holding capacity, making it a practical choice for both single-station fixtures and production jigs.
