311 Latching Clamp by Kukamet — Horizontal mount, safety lock

The 311 Latching Clamp is a horizontal‑mount locking clamp designed for repeatable workholding and jig applications, featuring a spring‑loaded action and an integrated safety latch for secure, high‑cycle operation.

• Spring-loaded action with safety lock
• Horizontal-foot mounting for sturdy installation
• Adjustable arm 17–42 mm span
• Blackened finish with included hook

Secure, measurable clamping for reliable production

The compact locking device delivers a 220 N clamping force and a 325 N holding force, values that translate into predictable fixture behaviour on assembly lines and test jigs. These figures describe two different functions: the clamping force is the maximum pressure exerted during engagement, while the holding force indicates the retention under load once the latch is closed. The result is consistent repeatability and reduced rework in serial processes, making the clamp suitable for routine production tasks where process stability is a priority.

Fast installation and straightforward adjustment save time

Designed with a horizontal‑foot mounting, the clamp fits into standard fixture plates with minimal modification, enabling quick retrofit or new jig construction. The adjustable arm (17–42 mm) and thread length 75 mm allow fine tuning of engagement height and reach without replacing components, while the low mass (approx. 0.341 kg) keeps added inertia to a minimum. These design choices reduce setup time and make the clamp compatible with a wide range of part geometries.

Built for safety and long service life

A spring‑loaded action paired with a positive safety lock keeps the latch engaged under vibration and repeated cycles, reducing the risk of accidental release. The blackened finish provides basic surface protection and a uniform appearance for workshop environments, and the unit is supplied with a practical hook for direct attachment to the workpiece or fixture. Together these features support uninterrupted production and safer handling in high‑use applications.

Practical uses and suitability for industry fixtures

This locking clamp is ideal for repetitive assembly, quality inspection fixtures and small machining nests where a compact, reliable clamp is required. The combination of measurable holding values and a compact footprint makes the device particularly useful in confined setups and automated stations that demand consistent part positioning. The robust locking mechanism ensures long service intervals and predictable behaviour under frequent operation.
