Vertical clamp 242 — vertical workholding with a massive arm and safety lock

A Vertical clamp 242 designed for secure fixture workholding where a long reach and reliable locking are required in assembly and machining applications

• Robust 180 mm holding arm
• Safety locking for secure clamping
• Max. holding force 6,000 N
• Vertical foot mounting for fixture plates

Consistent clamping performance for machining and assembly

The device delivers a clear technical advantage by separating pressing force and holding force: a pressing force of 2,000 N provides the necessary clamp actuation while a holding force of 6,000 N secures parts during machining and handling. This distinction ensures stable workpieces under lateral loads and vibration, reducing rework and downtime. The long 180 mm arm and its 100° operating angle provide practical reach for fixtures, while the massive holding arm minimises flex and maintains positional accuracy.

Fast installation and safe, repeatable operation on fixture plates

Designed with a vertical foot for direct mounting to fixture plates and tooling blocks, the clamp integrates into modular production setups with minimal adaptation. At 2.52 kg the unit is substantial enough to remain stable yet compact for dense fixture layouts. The safety locking mechanism holds the clamp securely in position during set-up and transport, reducing the risk of accidental release and improving operator confidence. The blackened finish gives a professional surface appearance and aids in routine visual inspection.

Durable design that supports continuous workshop use

Constructed for repetitive production use, the clamp combines a solid arm and straightforward locking elements to lower maintenance requirements and support long service intervals. The simple mechanical design makes inspection and part replacement practical without specialised tools, helping to keep throughput steady. For customers seeking predictable, robust workholding in small-batch or series production, this workholding device offers a reliable foundation for fixtures and jigs.
