371-4-L Toggle Clamp (371 light series) — Horizontal base, Safety lock — Kukamet

The 371-4-L Toggle Clamp is a compact horizontal-base closure clamp designed for secure, repeatable workholding in light industrial fixtures and assembly jigs.

• Horizontal base for stable mounting
• Safety lock for vibration-proof clamping
• 7,000 N clamping force for secure holding
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance

Faster, more reliable clamping for small series production

The 371-4-L provides a definable clamping force of up to 7,000 N and a holding force rated to 8,000 N, delivering a measurable improvement in part security compared with generic manual clamps. In practice, this means fewer relocated parts during machining or assembly and a lower rate of rework. The mechanical design converts lever travel into a firm lock, so operators benefit from quicker fixture cycles and consistent repeatability without complex adjustment. Explaining the numbers: clamping force denotes the axial pressure applied to the workpiece, while holding force indicates the load the closed clamp resists before release — both are key to predictable process outcomes.

Robust finish and compact footprint for workshop integration

Constructed with a zinc-plated surface treatment and weighing approximately 0.815 kg, the device offers corrosion resistance and a low mass that suits confined jig layouts. The horizontal base mounting allows direct attachment to flat tooling plates and reduces vertical profile, saving space when multiple clamps are used in close proximity. The included hook allows quick engagement with mating fixtures, reducing set-up time. For engineers specifying fixtures, this combination supports a compact, durable solution that integrates easily into existing tooling without the need for additional corrosion protection.

Safety lock and hook for vibration-prone environments

Equipped with an integrated safety lock, the clamp secures the lever against unintended opening, an important safeguard when fixtures are exposed to vibration or impact. The locking mechanism prevents loss of clamping pressure during intermittent operations, maintaining positional accuracy across cycles. The simple mechanical hook provides positive engagement and facilitates fast manual operation without sacrificing safety. As a result, the component is particularly suitable for assembly lines, test benches and light machining processes where operational safety and steady clamping are priorities.

FAQ

What maximum clamping force does the clamp deliver?
The 371-4-L toggle clamp delivers a maximum clamping force of 7,000 N and a holding force of 8,000 N, providing firm, measurable retention for light-duty fixtures.

Is the clamp suitable for use in humid or corrosive workshop environments?
The zinc-plated finish of the 371-4-L offers corrosion resistance suited to standard workshop conditions; for aggressive environments additional surface protection should be considered.

How is the clamp mounted to a fixture plate?
The clamp uses a horizontal base for stable mounting to flat tooling plates; the design supports low-profile integration into jigs and assembly fixtures.

Does the clamp include a safety feature to prevent accidental release?
Yes, the 371-4-L is fitted with a safety lock that secures the lever against unintended opening, enhancing performance in vibration-prone applications.

Can the clamp be engaged quickly during manual production?
The integrated hook and lever geometry enable rapid manual engagement and release, reducing set-up time while maintaining secure clamping.
