Toggle Clamps

Toggle clamps are hand-operated components used to hold workpieces and fixtures in position or to secure compatible panels, covers, enclosures, and other mating parts. This category includes horizontal-acting, push-pull, and hook-style clamps for workholding and positioning tasks, along with toggle latches for closure applications and a flat-tip screw assembly for compatible clamp setups.

Helpful Buying Guide

Choose Toggle Clamps for the Way You Hold or Close

Start by separating clamping needs from latching needs. Workholding setups can use horizontal-acting, push-pull, or hook-type toggle clamps, while closures and mating parts can use toggle latches. Then compare operating action, mounting arrangement, material, size, included catch hardware, and the contact or holding features relevant to the installation.

Use Cases

Hold work or secure a closure

Use toggle clamps for fixture and workholding tasks, positioning, and manual holding of workpieces. Use toggle latches to fasten compatible panels, covers, enclosures, and mating parts.

How to Choose

Match the operating action

Choose horizontal-acting, push-pull, or hook-style action based on the motion required by the setup. For closure applications, select a toggle latch and confirm whether a safety catch or a no-safety-catch configuration is needed.

Applications

Plan around the mounting and engagement arrangement

Compare vertical or horizontal base configurations for clamps. For latch assemblies, determine whether an integrated catch bracket is needed for the mating engagement point.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Clamp Types

Select the motion that fits the workholding task

Horizontal-acting clamps move the lever and clamping bar in opposite directions. Push-pull models provide a manual compression action for fixture and clamping arrangements. Hook-style options use a draw hook or pulling latch to create a hooked clamping connection.

  • Horizontal-acting steel clamp with a vertical mounting base and 900 N holding capacity
  • Push-pull clamps for controlled engagement and release
  • Hook and pull-latch clamps for compatible hooked connections
Latch Types

Match latch assemblies to compatible closure requirements

Toggle latches are intended to hold mating parts, closures, panels, covers, and enclosures in a secured position. Some latch assemblies include an integrated catch bracket, while one steel option includes a safety catch and one stainless steel option is configured without a safety catch.

  • Steel and stainless steel latch options
  • Size 50, 55, 100, and 110 latch formats represented
  • Integrated catch brackets on selected assemblies
Installation Details

Check the features that affect fit and operation

Review mounting orientation, listed size, and available space before selecting a component. A neoprene rubber-tip spindle provides a rubber contact point on the horizontal-acting clamp, while a flat neoprene-tipped screw assembly offers a cushioned flat contact surface for compatible toggle clamp setups. Lubricated moving sections, greased bearing points, and oil-resistant grips are available on selected products.
