Heavy Duty Vertical Toggle Clamp Features
All VA series vertical toggle clamps are designed to be adaptable and durable, and to withstand abuse in heavy duty applications. The new VA300 vertical toggle clamp series helps fill the gap at the smaller end of the range. Only manufactured at Brauer, they have a corrosion resistant finish.
Models VA300s, VA700S, VA1200S and VA2400S vertical toggle clamps comprise a basic toggle mechanism onto which can be welded at the desired angle, the clamping arm and handle, which can be specified as accessories. These models feature a swivel base which is welded at the desired angle to the mechanism, and then welded either directly to a fixture, or alternatively to a base which is offered as an accessory for bolt mounting.
Models VA300T, VA700T, VA1200T and VA2400T vertical toggle clamps share all the features of the above models, but with a straight base which can be directly bolt mounted or welded to a fixture, or alternatively to the accessory base for bolt mounting.
Models VA300T, VA700/1A, VA1200/1A, and VA2400/1A vertical toggle clamps are similar to the type 'T' models, but with a handle with a PVC grip fitted vertically, and a longer stub clamping arm which can be modified and the spindle retainer supplied welded in the desired position.
Models VA300T, VA700/2C, VA1200/2C, and VA2400/2C vertical toggle clamps feature a flanged base with holes for bolt mounting, a handle with PVC grip fitted vertically, and a fixed spindle or setscrew position which does not require welding.
Specification:
The main components are steel, the forked lower handles being precision alloy steel casting, and all axles of hardened steel running in either hardened bushings or directly in the close-toleranced holes of hardened parts. The vertical toggle clamps are finished semi-black.
Installation:
When welding the swivel base of the type 'S' models to the clamp mechanism ensure that the full length of the adjoining surfaces are welded. Ensure the welding splatter does not enter the slots which form the forward stop of the mechanism.
The handle pivot bolt may be adjusted if required to remove excess free play from the mechanism.
Frequent lubrication will extend the life of the clamp.
