311 toggle latch clamp S311-3-Y-L – stainless steel, spring-loaded safety lock

The 311 toggle latch clamp is a horizontal-mounted clamp designed to secure fixtures, closures and jigs with fast actuation and reliable retention.

• Stainless steel construction
• Spring-loaded with safety lock
• Horizontal foot for secure mounting
• Adjustable arm 17–42 mm
• Holding force up to 325 N

Reliable retention that reduces rework and downtime

The clamp delivers both a clear clamping force and a higher holding force, ensuring that fixtures remain stable during processing and handling. The difference between the two is straightforward: clamping force is the pressure applied when the latch is engaged, while holding force describes resistance to separation under load. With a measured holding capability of 325 N, this device provides secure positioning for light to medium-duty tasks, reducing the likelihood of part movement and subsequent rework. The clear numeric values support planning for fixture design and process reliability.

Corrosion-resistant build for long service life

Manufactured from stainless steel, the device is optimised for environments where rust resistance and hygiene are important. The robust material choice minimises maintenance intervals and extends service life compared with plated or painted alternatives. For operators who need predictable performance over many cycles, the corrosion-resistant construction means fewer unexpected replacements and a lower total cost of ownership for the clamping station. This is particularly relevant where regular cleaning or exposure to humidity occurs.

Fast, safe operation with integrated spring and lock

Operation is rapid thanks to the spring-loaded mechanism, which returns the latch to position and speeds repetitive cycles. The integrated safety lock prevents accidental release during vibration or handling, improving process safety and protecting components in transit or machining. The clamp’s simple lever action supports efficient handling on assembly lines and jigs, delivering both speed and a defined locked state so that operators can rely on consistent engagement without additional fixtures.

Flexible mounting and straightforward adjustment

A horizontal foot simplifies installation on flat fixture plates; the arm is adjustable from 17–42 mm, enabling adaptation to different flange heights and closure gaps without replacing hardware. Thread length of 75 mm allows secure fixation and a range of fastener choices. The presence of a hook option permits use as a latch for doors or panels as well as direct clamp applications. Such adaptability makes the component suitable for diverse applications in assembly, packaging and light fabrication.

FAQ

What is the difference between clamping force and holding force?
Clamping force refers to the pressure applied during engagement, while holding force indicates resistance to separation; the Kukamet 311 toggle latch clamp specifies a clamping pressure of 220 N and a holding capability of 325 N.

Can the clamp be mounted on standard fixture plates?
Yes, the horizontal foot design allows direct mounting to flat plates; the 75 mm thread length supports various fasteners and secure attachment.

Is the clamp suitable for use in humid or washdown environments?
The stainless-steel construction of the 311 toggle latch clamp improves corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for conditions where moisture or regular cleaning is expected.

How is the arm adjustment achieved and what range is available?
Adjustment is made by repositioning the arm within the 17–42 mm range to match component thickness or gap; this allows flexible use across several fixture designs.

Can this clamp function as a latch for doors or panels?
Yes, the integrated hook and spring-loaded action permit use as a latch for closures as well as for direct clamping duties in jigs and fixtures.
