This side clamp features a clamping mechanism that forces the jaw forward, providing a long stroke and firm clamping. The jaw also creates a downward force which prevents lifting of the part. Clamping action is engaged and disengaged by simply turning the handle. The clamping force is constant and the handle has a "click" feel at the clamping end point, preventing workpiece damage due to overtightening. Indication lines on the handle and body align to clearly show when the clamp is locked or unlocked. This clamp mounts from the top with two mounting holes. The body and jaw are made from electroless nickle-plated 1045 steel. The jaw is quenched and tempered for high strength. The cam cylinder is made from electroless nickel-plated 4140 steel. The handle is made from 304 stainless steel.
