Vertikalspanner 242 – Vertical lever clamp with 118 mm arm and 5,000 N holding force (Kukamet)

The Vertikalspanner 242 is a vertical lever clamp designed to provide secure, repeatable clamping in jigs, fixtures and assembly stations within production and workshop environments.

• Solid 118 mm holding arm
• Safety locking mechanism
• Vertical base mounting
• 5,000 N maximum clamping force

Consistent clamping force for productive setups

The clamp delivers clearly defined forces: 5,000 N maximum holding force and 1,500 N pressing force, values that support repeatable part fixation in small-series production or repair work. These measurable figures enable planners to size fixturing with confidence, linking expected process stability directly to the clamp’s capacity. The numeric specification simplifies comparisons with other clamping elements and helps reduce rework caused by insufficient clamp performance.

Robust construction that shortens setup times

A massive holding arm and safety lock reduce the need for frequent adjustments and prevent unintentional release during machining or handling. The unit’s blackened finish protects against wear while offering a uniform appearance in toolrooms and on shop floors. At 118 mm reach and 100° operating angle the design balances accessibility and clearance, so fixtures can be loaded and unloaded quickly without compromising stability.

Compact mounting and straightforward function

Mounting on a vertical base provides a small footprint and straightforward installation into plates or tooling blocks. The lever mechanism is simple to operate and the integrated safety lock holds the lever in its clamped position until deliberately released, improving process safety. With a unit mass of 1.362 kg, the clamp is robust yet manageable for retrofitting into existing fixtures or building new assemblies without heavy handling equipment.

Suitable applications and workshop benefits

Engineered for jigs, assembly stations and light machining tasks, this vertical lever clamp is well suited to metalworking and general workshop use where reliable repeatability matters. The combination of precise clamping forces and the massive arm design reduces vibration and movement of the workpiece, contributing to better machining results and fewer rejects. Procurement and production planners will value the predictable performance when standardising fixture hardware across multiple stations.

FAQ

What is the difference between the holding force and the pressing force?
The holding force denotes the maximum static retention capability (5,000 N) while the pressing force (1,500 N) refers to the clamping action applied by the lever; these values for the Kukamet Vertikalspanner 242 indicate strong retention with controlled actuation.

Can the clamp be mounted directly into a fixture plate?
Yes, the vertical base mounting allows direct installation into plates or tooling blocks for stable integration in jigs and assemblies.

Is the safety lock suitable for machining applications?
The integrated safety locking mechanism prevents accidental opening during handling and light machining, improving operational safety for production and workshop tasks.

What materials and finishes are used?
The unit features a blackened finish and a massive arm construction designed for wear resistance and long service life in workshop environments.

Is the clamp suitable for automated handling or do adjustments require manual intervention?
The lever clamp operates manually; its robust construction and safety lock make it suitable for repetitive manual cycles and integration into semi-automated stations where manual clamping is required.
