F-clamp Bessey TPN30S12BE — 30 cm opening, aluminium body, black/red

The Bessey TPN30S12BE is an F-clamp with a 30 cm opening and an aluminium body finished in black and red. Designed for holding workpieces during gluing, assembly and woodworking, this clamp combines a lightweight construction with stable clamping force, making it suitable for both workshop and professional use. The compact design and ergonomic handle enable controlled tightening and reliable positioning of parts.

Advantages

The aluminium body reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity for repeatable clamping. A 30 cm throat provides ample reach for medium-sized assemblies, and the quick-adjust sliding bar allows fast repositioning of the clamp jaw. The ergonomic handle and smooth spindle action ensure precise pressure control without excessive effort. The black and red finish offers corrosion resistance and clear visual identification in a busy workshop.

Suitable for

• Gluing wood panels and edge-banding
• Assembly of furniture components
• Holding parts during routing, sanding and finishing
• Light metalworking and hobby projects
• Temporary fixturing in production or repair tasks

Key specifications

• Maximum opening (clamp reach): 30 cm
• Body material: aluminium
• Finish: black and red coating for protection and visibility
• Weight: approximately 1.61 kg
• Clamp type: F-clamp (bar clamp) with sliding jaw and screw spindle

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw and sliding jaw straddle the workpiece, then slide the movable jaw near the part and engage the screw spindle using the ergonomic handle. Turn the handle to apply the required clamping force until the workpiece is held securely without deformation. For larger adjustments, release the spindle slightly and re-position the sliding jaw. When unclamping, reverse the spindle until the pressure is relieved and remove the clamp from the assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads on the clamp jaws to prevent marking delicate surfaces, and avoid overtightening to prevent compression damage to softer materials. Store the clamp in a dry place to maintain the finish and inspect the spindle and sliding mechanism periodically for smooth operation.
