New and upgraded models offer more flexibility for users in workholding applications
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. , April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Destaco, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), announced that it continues to expand the options within its Manual Clamp product family through the creation of new models and the upgrade of existing versions. These expanded offerings are designed to give users additional flexibility when outfitting their workholding systems.
Here is a closer look at three of these latest innovations:
Front-Mount-Base Manual Clamps: Designed with a vertical mounting base that reduces interfering contours, and available with both vertical (models 2002-UF and 2007-UF) and horizontal (models 225-UF and 235-UF) handle action, these clamps help improve safety by providing more space for larger hand clearances. They also use the same mounting-hole pattern, spindles, washers and bolt retainers as existing models. All models have hardened bushings at key pivot points for longer cycle life and higher holding capacities.
Toggle Lock Plus Manual Clamps: The new 503-MLBR and 533-LBR models are extensions of Destaco's 503-MLB and 533-LB vertical toggle-lock clamps and feature the patented Toggle Lock Plus locking system. The space-saving Toggle Lock Plus uses a locking disc to secure the position. This solution requires no welding and provides additional protection against unintentional opening and closing. The 503-MLBR and 533-LBR clamps are fully interchangeable with models having the same specifications. Other models are available upon request.
800 Series Manual Clamps: Quality enhancements have been completed for three models within the 800 Series clamp family. The Model 802-U now includes an upgraded air cylinder that helps ensure the clamp's exerting force is less than the maximum holding capacity; new composite bearings on the trunnion mount and cylinder pivot point; and a redesigned clevis bolt, along with increased rivet and pre-stop diameters. The Model 807-U is offered with lubrication- and maintenance-free composite bearings on the trunnion mount, a redesigned clevis bolt and a reconfigured base that improves the unit's open/close performance. New composite bearings that eliminate metal-to-metal contact while requiring no lubrication or maintenance are the upgrades for the Model 810-U.
"Our number one mission is to provide our customers with safe, cutting-edge products that help them optimize performance in all of their critical workholding applications," said Thomas Stimac , Destaco Regional Sales Manager, Automotive. "The introduction of the expanded Front-Mount and Toggle Lock Plus Manual Clamp portfolio, along with the updates to the 800 Series models, delivers on that mission, further strengthening our offerings to meet our customers' evolving needs."

During stock market sell-offs, folks often flock to what they deem to be safe stocks to avoid further losses. If you piled into safe stocks during the spring 2020 COVID-19 sell-off, you probably missed out on monster gains from sectors of the economy with more growth. Conversely, if you overbought pandemic winners above energy, industrial, or utility stocks, you missed out on the market-beating performance many names in those sectors have since enjoyed.
LONDON (Reuters) -Soybean oil prices soared to a record high on Friday as Indonesia's decision to effectively ban exports of palm oil heightened concerns about already depleted global supplies of alternative vegetable oils. The loss of shipments from Ukraine, the world's top supplier of sunflower oil, and drought in the world's top soybean oil exporter Argentina had already sparked a sharp rise in global vegetable oil prices. The tightening vegetable oil supplies come as easing COVID-19 restrictions have sparked a surge in demand for food and biofuels.
