Work-holding toggle clamps are common in manufacturing industry as a fast convenient way of locating jigs and components for operations such as moulding, welding and plastic forming.

Elesa-Clayton has entered this market with the Speedy Block range of vertical, horizontal, straight line, latch and pneumatic toggle clamps, which are especially competitive for most industrial applications.

Many of these are also available in stainless steel for unusually arduous applications.

Under the heading Speedy Block, Elesa-Clayton now offers 21 different types of toggle unit each in a variety of sizes, with the most popular of these manual types now offered in stainless steel.

The over centre action of these clamps offer holding forces from 400N to 45kN.

Stainless-steel construction is identical to the normal case-hardened zinc-plated steel, also with a red vinyl oil resistant handle.

Generally fixing is by standard bolting methods, although welding is possible in some cases.

Vertical and horizontal clamping levers on the Speedy Block range can be fitted with a variety of spindle plungers and spring buffered spindles.

Coppered plungers on straight-line series units also make them suitable for use in welding applications, to avoid possible welding slag damage.

Latch types are offered with hooks or yokes.
