What locking clamp sizes are available? |
||||
 |
Locking clamps are available in a range of sizes, from light-duty to heavy-duty models. The size of a locking clamp can be measured by its jaw opening, its throat depth and the clamp’s overall length. This information can determine whether a locking clamp is large enough to hold a particular workpiece. | |||
Jaw opening |
||||
 |
The jaw opening refers to how wide the moveable jaw can open from the fixed jaw.
The opening space between the ends of the two jaws indicates the clamp’s capacity. |
|||
 |
The smallest jaw opening available is 10mm (0.5″ approx.).
The largest jaw opening available is 250mm (10″ approx.). |
|||
Throat depth |
||||
 |
The throat depth can be measured by the distance from the ends of the jaws to the edge of the handle.
Some long-reach locking clamps are designed with extremely deep throats in order to clamp wider or larger workpieces. |
|||
 |
The smallest throat depth available is 40mm (1.5″ approx.).
The largest throat depth available is 390mm (15.5″ approx.). |
|||
Length |
||||
 |
The length of a locking clamp can vary and is measured by the distance from the edge of the jaws to the end of the handle. | |||
 |
The smallest length available is 150mm (6″ approx.).
The largest length available is 600mm (24″ approx.). |
