Fixed & Revolving Handles

New extended lever toggle clamps from Elesa provide a longer hold bar to hold items in position for working or fixing, allowing them to be secured across larger components. This extended lever allows the clamp arm to reach components in the middle of an assembly while giving clearance to view a template or positioning indices so that operators can work more easily around the clamped component.

These new clamps enable an even hold for welding on control jigs, moulds, templates and work pieces supporting across the whole item which saves time in production and enhances safety, providing a quick, temporary and secure location during secondary operations.

Elesa toggle clamps feature safety release handles in vertical or horizontal configuration for optimum operator convenience to suit the layout of individual work stations. This ensures rapid manual operation which is both fast and accurate, with preset safety (anti-release) lever to prevent accidental opening in the presence of strong vibrations, and to ensure that the operator's fingers cannot be hit by the lever while opening.

Extended lever toggle clamps are available with a flanged (folded) base plate or with a straight (insert) base to suit the orientation required.

Fluted or lobe-shape clamping knobs are available from Elesa UK in different materials, technopolymer, phenolic-based Duroplast, aluminum or stainless steel, for applications in many industrial sectors. A variety of shapes and diameters with plain, tapped bosses or with studs are available with standard threads to fit the application.

Elesa now offers a variety of different breather cap solutions to sealing hydraulic tank fillers while enabling air interchange as fluid is drawn from or returned to the hydraulic reservoir. These new caps enable pressure equalisation between the inside and outside of the tank while at the same time using proprietary labyrinth geometry of semi-discs as a major barrier to spillage. This is especially applicable when the equipment is used at variable angles with violent changes of orientation − e.g., for mobile equipment such as earthmoving-plant, or simply for machines in transit.

Two new designs are now offered by Elesa each with their own choices of configuration which includes an innovative clip-on external linear labyrinth as an additional anti-spill device and a dipstick for level checking.

The SFX is a new breather cap design with internal splash guard geometry which can also incorporate a "tech-foam" air filter in polyurethane foam mesh to protect the reservoir from external particles.

The additional anti-splash device consists of a snap-on set of semi-discs that fits at the mouth of the cap, and are made up of fins offset from each other designed to create an extra labyrinth to protect in the most critical cases of strong fluid agitation.

SFX+a also features the new splash guard options with anti-splash clip-on labyrinth now with the option of a flat dipstick in phosphatised steel. On request and for sufficient quantities dipsticks can be supplied in different lengths and/or complete with MAX-MIN level line.

Other special options include − a neutral cap without symbols and a cap in RAL 3000 red colour - also the threaded fixing is available with American conical gas threading NPT - ANSI-ASME B1-20.
