Clamp KRUPS TP100S12BE — iron clamp 120 x 1000 mm, 560 kg capacity

KRUPS TP100S12BE is an iron clamp designed for heavy-duty holding and fastening tasks. It provides a 120 x 1000 mm clamping surface and a rated capacity of 560 kg, allowing stable grip and precise positioning of workpieces during cutting, welding, machining and assembly operations. The clamp’s robust metal construction and straightforward mechanical design make it suitable for repeated industrial use where firm, repeatable clamping is required.

Advantages

The clamp offers a long clamping throat and wide jaw surface that distribute force evenly across the workpiece, reducing deformation and improving alignment. Its high load capacity supports heavy components and fixtures, while the iron build provides durability and resistance to impact in workshop environments. The simple interface and mechanical action allow rapid setup and consistent clamping pressure for repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Metalworking and fabrication tasks requiring firm hold during cutting or grinding
• Welding fixtures and tack-holding of large workpieces
• Industrial assembly and production fixtures where repeatable clamping is needed
• Workshop jigs, benches and heavy-duty woodworking applications that need a long reach

When it may not be suitable

This iron clamp is designed for heavy work and is relatively heavy and rigid compared with lighter or non‑metal clamps. It may not be suitable for delicate or finished surfaces where soft-jaw protection is required unless additional protective pads are used. The clamp’s size and rated capacity make it less practical for very small parts or fine precision fixtures that require micro-adjustment.

Key specifications

• Clamping surface (jaw width and length): 120 x 1000 mm
• Rated clamping capacity: 560 kg
• Material: iron construction for durability
• Intended use: heavy-duty holding for cutting, welding and machining

How to use

Position the clamp so the jaws fully engage the workpiece across the intended clamping surface and align the workpiece for the required operation. Tighten the clamp until the workpiece is held firmly but avoid excessive torque beyond the rated capacity. For operations on finished or soft surfaces, use protective pads between the jaws and the workpiece to prevent marking. Release the clamp by reversing the tightening mechanism and remove the workpiece once machining or assembly is complete.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required clamping reach and jaw length match the 120 x 1000 mm specification
• Ensure the 560 kg rated capacity meets the weight and holding-force requirements of your tasks
• Consider whether protective jaw pads are needed for delicate materials
• Confirm available bench or fixture space to accommodate the clamp’s size and weight

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp on stable benches or fixtures and inspect jaws and threads periodically for wear or debris. When clamping heavier pieces, center the load and, if necessary, use multiple clamps to distribute force evenly. Add soft pads for delicate surfaces and avoid exceeding the rated capacity to maintain safe, repeatable performance.
