Latch Clamp 312 – Vertical-foot lever clamp with safety lock (Kukamet)

The Latch Clamp 312 is a vertical-base lever clamp engineered for secure fixture locking in jigs and assembly fixtures, combining high holding force with a compact mounting footprint.

• 10 kN clamping force for strong hold
• Vertical-foot mounting for compact setups
• Integrated safety lock for secure operation
• Black-oxide finish for increased wear resistance

High clamping performance for reliable fixtures

With a rated clamping force of 10 kN and an equal holding force of 10 kN, this lever-style latch is designed for demanding securing tasks where consistent pressure matters. The high-rated force translates into dependable workpiece retention, reducing slippage during machining or assembly. The mechanical design converts handle movement into a locking action, so the clamping result is repeatable and measurable — a clear advantage for batch production and industrial jigs where process stability is essential.

Compact vertical mount saves space and improves accessibility

The vertical-foot design permits mounting on narrow fixture plates and in confined toolrooms, freeing lateral space and enabling closer placement of neighbouring clamps. Fitted with a threaded spindle of 110 mm length, the clamp allows fine adjustment of the clamping point and quick adaptation to varying workpiece thicknesses. The lever-action approach provides fast engagement and disengagement, improving cycle times and simplifying handling in repetitive operations.

Secure operation and practical accessory features

An integrated safety lock prevents accidental release under vibration or incidental contact, increasing on-bench safety and reducing the risk of rework. The built-in hook extends usability for quick latching applications and temporary holds, while the black-oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance and a low-reflective surface suited to workshop environments. Constructed as a lever clamp, it combines ergonomic operation with robust mechanical locking for everyday industrial use.

Low mass, simple integration and maintenance

Weighing 0.945 kg, the clamp is lightweight enough for retrofitting to existing fixtures yet solid enough for industrial handling. The straightforward mechanical design minimises service needs; routine inspection of the locking mechanism and spindle thread is generally sufficient to maintain performance. For integration, the vertical foot requires standard mounting holes and provides a stable platform for repeated loading cycles, supporting a reliable production flow without complex installation.

FAQ

What is the primary application for this clamp?
The latch clamp is intended for securing workpieces in jigs, assembly fixtures and light-duty machining setups where a compact vertical mount and reliable locking are required.

Can the clamp handle repetitive cycles in production environments?
Yes. The mechanical lever action and fixed-thread adjustment make the clamp suitable for repeated engagement cycles while maintaining consistent clamping force.

Is the latch clamp adjustable for varying workpiece thicknesses?
Adjustability is provided by the threaded spindle (110 mm thread length), allowing precise positioning of the clamping point for different component heights.

How does the safety lock work and why is it useful?
The integrated safety lock mechanically prevents unintended release of the clamp under vibration or incidental contact, improving safety and process stability during operations.

Which materials or finishes are used on the clamp?
The component surface is supplied with a black-oxide finish, offering basic wear and corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-reflective appearance.
