BESSEY STC-HH70 Horizontal clamp – Automatic height adjustment, horizontal base plate

The STC-HH70 is a horizontal hold-down clamp designed for jigs, fixtures and general workshop use, offering automatic clamping-height adjustment to accommodate variable material thickness.

• Automatic clamping-height adjustment
• Horizontal base plate for stable mounting
• Max. clamping force 2,500 N
• Compact size 70 with 217 mm reach

Faster, more reliable clamping for mixed production

The combination of automatic clamping-height adjustment and a max. clamping force of 2,500 N delivers consistent results across mixed batches and single-part operations. The height compensation prevents overtravel and reduces setup time by absorbing variations in workpiece thickness without manual intervention. For production planners, this means fewer stoppages for re‑adjustment and a measurable improvement in cycle reliability. The clamp is particularly suited to repetitive holding tasks where repeatability and steady clamping pressure matter.

Simple integration and stable mounting reduce downtime

Fitted with a horizontal base plate, the unit provides a firm mounting interface for fixture plates and assembly jigs. The 217 mm reach (L1) and compact footprint allow positioning close to the work area while maintaining clearance for tooling. Clear dimensional data (A, B, C, E, H1, I, M, N, P) support precise layout planning and ensure compatibility with existing fixtures. The clamp’s design reduces the need for custom adaptors and speeds up commissioning in both small workshops and production lines.

Practical benefits for workshop and industrial use

Constructed for everyday workshop conditions, this horizontal hold-down solution suits metalworking, assembly and fixture building where predictable clamping is required. The automatic adjustment protects delicate components from excessive force while still enabling high holding power when needed, improving handling safety and part integrity. With its compact size and stable mounting, the clamp aids ergonomic workbench design and contributes to a tidier, more efficient workflow.

FAQ

What is the maximum clamping force of this clamp?
The BESSEY STC-HH70 horizontal clamp provides a maximum clamping force of 2,500 N, suitable for secure holding in many workshop and light industrial applications.

How does the automatic clamping-height adjustment work?
The clamp’s automatic height adjustment compensates for variations in workpiece thickness, allowing controlled travel and consistent clamping pressure without manual re‑setting, which speeds up setup and reduces errors.

Which dimensions are most relevant for planning a fixture?
Key dimensions include the 217 mm reach (L1) and the adjustment range M: 33–48 mm; the full set of measurements (A, B, C, E, H1, I, N, P) supports precise fixture layout and alignment.

Is the clamp suitable for use in production jigs and assembly lines?
Yes. The horizontal hold-down design and stable base plate make it well suited for jigs, fixtures and repetitive assembly tasks where fast, repeatable clamping is required.

Does the clamp require special mounting hardware?
The base plate provides a standard mounting surface for direct attachment to fixture plates; any additional adapters depend on the individual jig design rather than on the clamp itself.
