Clamp Vorel 38434 — iron and steel construction, 1 pc

Vorel 38434 — iron and steel construction, 1 pc is a single-piece C-type clamp manufactured from continuous cast iron with a steel pressure screw. The tool is intended for holding, securing and fastening workpieces during assembly, gluing, light metalwork and woodworking tasks. The clamp combines a rigid body resistant to twisting and impacts with a corrosion-resistant powder-coated surface and a movable pressure strap on the screw to prevent detachment during use.

Advantages

The clamp offers high stiffness and vibration resistance, reducing the risk of loosening under load. Its steel pressure screw features a tube thread and tin-plated finish for improved wear and corrosion resistance. A large pressure plate mounted on a pivot pin ensures even contact and precise fit to the clamped material, while the movable strap on the screw allows strong tightening without loss of the pressure element. The compact one-piece design provides durability for hobbyist and occasional professional tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding and securing parts during assembly and gluing
• Light steelwork and fabrication tasks
• Carpentry and woodworking operations
• Temporary fixturing for welding and roofing jobs

Key specifications

• Construction: continuous cast iron body with steel pressure screw
• Surface finish: powder-coated protection against corrosion
• Pressure screw: tube thread, steel with tin plating for wear resistance
• Pressure plate: large pivoting plate for even contact
• Design features: high stiffness, vibration resistance, movable strap on screw to prevent falling out
• Type: C-type screw clamp suitable for heavy-duty clamping conditions

How to use

Position the clamp so that the large pressure plate rests against the workpiece and the C-shaped body supports the opposite side. Turn the pressure screw clockwise to advance the plate until the workpieces are held firmly; use the movable strap to ensure the screw assembly remains engaged. Avoid overtightening beyond what the material can withstand. To release, turn the pressure screw counterclockwise until the plate disengages and remove the clamp from the workpiece. Inspect the clamp periodically for wear or damage, especially the screw thread and the pivoting pressure plate.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp on clean, properly supported surfaces and avoid applying excessive torque on delicate materials. For welding applications, protect the screw threads and pressure plate from direct spatter and inspect the tin-plated screw after exposure to heat. Store in a dry environment to preserve the powder-coated finish and periodically lubricate the screw thread to maintain smooth operation.
