Vertikalspanner 242 – Vertical toggle clamp with safety lock, 1,500 N clamping force (Kukamet)

The Vertikalspanner 242 is a vertical toggle clamp designed for secure, repeatable holding in jig and fixture applications across metalworking and assembly stations

• Vertical base foot for stable mounting
• Safety lock prevents unintended release
• 1,500 N clamping force for firm hold
• Holds up to 5,000 N retention force

Consistent holding power for production environments

The clamp delivers a clear performance advantage through its 1,500 N rated clamping capability combined with a 5,000 N maximum retention force. This ratio of clamping to holding force provides a secure grip on parts during machining or assembly, reducing rework and stoppages. The mechanism locks positively, so the safety lock maintains engagement under vibration and intermittent loads. For production planners the result is a measurable improvement in process stability and fewer manual interventions.

Robust construction that speeds up cycle times

A compact, blackened finish body and a vertical base mounting allow rapid integration into existing fixtures while offering corrosion-resistant surface protection. The lever-driven action of this type of clamp shortens the motion path, enabling quicker part securing and release compared with multi-component systems. At a lightweight 1.47 kg the unit is easy to position during jig building yet substantial enough to withstand repeated cycles, supporting higher throughput without adding bulk to the fixture.

Safety and installation advantages for workshop fixtures

Designed as a classic lever clamp, the device opens to a 100° travel angle, giving good access for loading and unloading components while maintaining a compact footprint. The integrated safety lock prevents accidental opening, which is beneficial where unattended machines or automated feeders are in use. Clear mechanical behaviour and straightforward mounting on a vertical foot make it suitable for clamping, assembly and testing fixtures where repeatability and operator safety are priorities. The model is supplied as a single, ready-to-install clamp with a defined SKU for traceability.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this vertical clamp?
The Vertikalspanner 242 from Kukamet is intended for use in jigs, fixtures and assembly fixtures where secure, repeatable clamping and compact mounting are required.

Can the clamp be mounted on production fixtures with limited space?
Yes. The vertical base foot and compact design of the Vertikalspanner 242 (SKU 242-4-L) allow straightforward installation in confined fixture layouts.

How does the safety lock improve workshop safety?
The integrated safety lock prevents unintended release under vibration or incidental impact, so the clamp keeps a positive hold until deliberately released.

Is the lever action suitable for high-cycle automation?
The lever-driven mechanism offers short actuation and reliable engagement, making this model suitable for higher cycle rates in manual or semi-automated processes.

What finish does the clamp have and what does it mean for maintenance?
The unit features a blackened finish that provides basic surface protection; this reduces the need for frequent touch-up while supporting standard workshop maintenance routines.
