Toggle Clamp 371 Light Series – stainless steel toggle clamp with horizontal-foot mounting, 7,000 N clamping force (Kukamet)

The Toggle Clamp 371 Light Series is a horizontal-foot latch clamp engineered for light-duty jigs and fixtures where repeatable, secure holding is required.

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Horizontal-foot mounting for bench or fixture fixing
• Max clamping force 7,000 N for reliable securing
• Integrated hook and 65 mm thread length

Dependable clamping power that protects workpieces and processes

The compact clamping device offers a 7,000 N maximum clamping force and an 8,000 N maximum holding force, delivering a clear safety margin between active clamping and static retention. These numeric values describe the mechanical capacity: clamping force is the active compressive load applied when the lever is operated, and holding force is the static resistance against separation. Selecting a clamp with this specification reduces slippage and helps maintain machining tolerances, which in turn supports consistent production output and lowers rework rates. The stainless steel body contributes to sustained performance under regular workshop use.

Quick fitting and flexible installation for efficient fixtures

Designed with a horizontal-foot mounting arrangement, the device installs cleanly on flat plates and fixture bases to create a low-profile clamping point. The 65 mm thread length allows adjustment of the spindle position and compensation for wear, while the integrated hook provides a simple engagement method for rapid operation. At a compact mass of 0.815 kg, the unit keeps jig deadweight low, simplifying handling and enabling easier repositioning during fixture changes. These mechanical features permit modular fixture design and faster setup times on repetitive tasks.

Low maintenance and operational reliability for workshop continuity

Made from stainless material, the clamp offers inherent corrosion resistance and demands minimal upkeep: periodic inspection and light lubrication at pivot points are typically sufficient to maintain functionality. The sturdy construction and simple kinematics reduce the number of service interventions, supporting longer intervals between repairs and less machine downtime. For production environments seeking predictable repeatability, the result is measurable improvement in throughput and operator confidence, backed by clear, verifiable technical data.

FAQ

What is the maximum clamping and holding force of this clamp?
The Kukamet Toggle Clamp 371 Light Series provides a maximum clamping force of 7,000 N and a maximum holding force of 8,000 N, values that define its active and static load capacities.

Can the clamp be mounted on a workbench or fixture plate?
Yes; the clamp uses a horizontal-foot mounting arrangement suitable for secure attachment to bench tops and fixture bases, and the 65 mm threaded spindle allows for height adjustment.

Is the material suitable for humid workshop environments?
The clamp is manufactured from stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance for humid or workshop conditions, though specific environmental exposure should be evaluated for extreme settings.

What is the purpose of the integrated hook?
The integrated hook provides a simple and reliable engagement point for the clamping spindle, enabling fast closure and positive retention in repetitive operations.

How heavy is the unit and which series does it belong to?
The device weighs 0.815 kg and is part of the 371 Light Series, sold under SKU S371-4 by Kukamet.
