Vertikalspanner 242 — Vertical clamp with 180 mm massive arm by Kukamet

The Vertikalspanner 242 is a vertical clamp optimised for heavy-duty fixture and jig applications, offering strong clamping and a compact footprint for integration into benches and tooling plates.

• Massive 180 mm holding arm for strong leverage
• Vertical foot for secure bench or fixture mounting
• Holding force up to 6,000 N for heavy-duty clamping
• Blackened finish for corrosion resistance and durability

Dependable clamping power for production and jigs

The clamping device provides a 6,000 N holding force combined with a 2,000 N pressing force, delivering a clear performance advantage where repeatable, secure holding is required. These rated forces translate into less slippage, reduced rework and a lower risk of part movement during machining or assembly. The 120° lever angle supports effective toggle action, converting operator input into strong, stable clamping without excessive travel. Presented as a compact vertical unit, this clamping solution suits serial operations and fixtures where consistent clamping behaviour is essential to maintain throughput and quality.

Robust construction for long service life and simple installation

Built with a massive 180 mm arm and a blackened finish, the clamp resists wear and offers enhanced surface protection against corrosion in workshop environments. The vertical foot mounting option allows secure attachment to benches or dedicated fixture plates and simplifies alignment in vertical orientations. With a listed mass of 2.376 kg, the unit provides tactile stability while remaining easy to handle during fitting. The solid construction reduces maintenance intervals and supports predictable performance over extended production runs, helping to keep downtime and total cost of ownership low.

Integration into tooling and practical operational benefits

The vertical design and compact profile make the clamp straightforward to include in jigs, assembly stations and dedicated fixtures. The combination of toggle mechanics and the 2,000 N pressing force permits firm clamping with clear open/close positions, which benefits automated or manual workflows that require quick, repeatable engagement. Because the clamp is engineered for mounting on a vertical plane, it minimises interference with adjacent tooling and preserves access to the workpiece. For applications that demand repeatability and robust retention, this type of lever clamp is a pragmatic choice that supports efficient cycle times and consistent results. If clarification is required on suitability for a specific fixture, technical advice is available to assist with integration choices.
