Senkrechtspanner STC-VH Gr.20 – Vertical clamp with horizontal base foot and automatic height adjustment (BESSEY)

The Senkrechtspanner STC-VH Gr.20 is a vertical clamp with a horizontal foot, designed for precise, repeatable workholding in light-duty assembly and workshop environments.

• Automatic clamping height adjustment
• Max. clamping force 1,100 N
• Clamping height H1 129 mm
• Horizontal base foot for stable mounting

Consistent hold and measurable performance for efficient production

The compact vertical clamp delivers repeatable clamping through its automatic clamping height adjustment, which eliminates manual readjustment between different workpieces and reduces setup time. With a rated 1,100 N of clamping force and an H1 clamping height of 129 mm, the unit provides a verifiable performance envelope that supports predictable cycle times. Described in clear numerical terms, these values let planners and workshop managers compare the clamp directly with alternative workholding solutions and therefore make an evidence-based selection for small-batch production or fixture work.

Stable mounting and compact footprint for tight workspaces

Featuring a horizontal base foot, the clamping unit mounts securely to benches and fixtures while keeping the vertical profile compact. At only 0.22 kg in mass and specified as size 20, the design minimises added load on jigs and simplifies handling during fixture changes. The low weight and small footprint are especially beneficial where multiple clamps are required on a single jig, enabling closer spacing without loss of stability. This combination supports efficient use of bench space and helps maintain ergonomic access for operators during assembly or inspection tasks.

Straightforward operation that reduces setup complexity

The automatic height regulation reduces operator steps: no manual shim stacking or repeated measurement is needed to obtain consistent clamping points. For workshops and small production lines, this translates into faster cycle preparation and fewer sources of variation. The device’s simple mechanical principle makes maintenance straightforward and predictable, lowering downtime risks and keeping throughput steady. Where accuracy and speed are priorities, the simplified workflow contributes directly to measurable productivity gains.

Durable design and trusted brand background for reliable service life

Built under the BESSEY designation and intended for general workshop use, the clamp emphasises durability and dependable function over time. The vertical clamping mechanism is engineered to withstand repetitive use common in assembly, prototyping and light fixture applications. Its robust clamping force and compact design provide peace of mind concerning safety and consistency, while supporting operators who need a reliable fixture element that performs without frequent adjustment.
