Clamping bar Bessey UniKlamp UK80, 800 mm bar length, 80 mm throat depth, black/red

Bessey UniKlamp UK80 is a light clamping bar with an 800 mm bar length and an 80 mm throat depth designed to hold and fix workpieces in woodworking, metalworking and assembly tasks. The tool combines a compact, robust design with quick one-handed adjustment for repetitive clamping operations and reliable pressure distribution across the clamped surface. Materials and construction suit workshop use where frequent repositioning and stable holding are required.

Advantages

The clamping bar offers fast one-handed adjustment and a compact profile that saves workspace. Its construction delivers even pressure distribution and consistent clamping force across the length, reducing the risk of workpiece distortion. Durable materials and a simple mechanism minimise maintenance needs and support repetitive use in production or hobby workshops.

Suitable for

• Woodworking tasks such as gluing, assembling and holding panels
• Metalworking operations requiring light to medium clamping force
• Assembly and repair tasks where quick repositioning is needed
• Workshop projects and repetitive clamping in small-scale production

Key specifications

• Bar length: 800 mm
• Throat depth: 80 mm
• Clamping type: bar clamp with one-handed adjustment
• Material: durable coated metal components with plastic grips
• Color: black and red
• Suitable for repeated workshop use and light to medium clamping tasks

How to use

Place the fixed jaw against one side of the workpiece and slide the adjustable jaw along the bar until it contacts the opposite side. Engage the quick-adjust mechanism to bring the jaws closer and apply pressure using one hand until the workpiece is held securely. Release the clamp by operating the release lever or mechanism and reposition as needed. For glue-ups, ensure even pressure across the joint and avoid over-tightening to prevent surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between the clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marks. Inspect the clamp regularly for wear and keep the sliding bar clean of dust and adhesive residue to ensure smooth operation. Select multiple clamps for long or large panels to distribute pressure evenly during gluing or assembly.
