Clamping force up to 22,000 N
Drop forged

C-clamps are used when high clamping forces are required with as uniform clamping spans as possible, primarily in metal and steel construction. The C-clamp is considered the original form of the screw clamp. Various materials have been used in its production. There were once versions made entirely of wood. Today, models with forged frames as well as VC clamps in proven BESSEY all-steel quality are available on the market. The special feature of the VC clamp is that its frame is made from original BESSEY profile steel produced in-house, heat-treated, and electro-galvanized. This results in a significantly higher tensile strength compared to cast versions.

Hazard warnings
Clamping tools are not suitable for lifting, pulling, or transporting. Clamping tools should only be tightened by hand without additional aids. Improper use can cause personal injury or property damage. Never modify or alter clamping tools; use them only in their original condition. Only use original spare parts if needed.

Care instructions
Generally remove dirt. Regularly clean and oil the spindle. Regularly clean and oil the pressure plate.
