Cast iron screw clamp BESSEY TG with wooden handle

BESSEY TG series clamp, with its malleable cast iron construction and ergonomic wooden handle, stands out as a robust clamping tool designed for a wide range of applications. Engineered to deliver a formidable clamping force of up to 6000N, this tool ensures a secure and stable grip for various tasks, from woodworking and interior fittings to DIY projects and shell construction.

Constructed from high-quality malleable iron, both the upper and lower sections of the clamp are reinforced and protected against corrosion with a durable powder coating. The ergonomically shaped wooden handle, finished with water-based paint, provides comfort and control during use, making prolonged tasks less strenuous.

A unique feature of the BESSEY TG series is its easily replaceable pressure plates, which require no tools for removal or installation. This convenient design, applicable for clamps with a throat depth from 80 mm, simplifies maintenance and extends the tool’s lifespan. The protective caps on the clamping surfaces further ensure that the workpieces remain unmarred during clamping.

The clamp’s stability is bolstered by its profiled steel rail, galvanized for rust resistance and designed with a serration that prevents slipping. The integrated BESSEY anti-slip system activates for clamps with a throat depth of 80 mm or more, featuring a set screw in the sliding arm that interlocks with the rail’s serration. This system effectively prevents the clamp from dislodging or slipping, providing maximum safety and reliability.

Materials used in the construction of the TG series include the cold-drawn, galvanized hollow profile rail and the burnished steel spindle with trapezoidal thread, ensuring durability and strength. The pressure plate, made from cold-pressed, galvanized steel, and the plastic protective caps, exemplify the attention to detail in making the clamp both functional and long-lasting.

The TG series clamp is ideal for a variety of applications such as interior fittings, shell construction, DIY projects, furniture and joinery works, kitchen construction, and shop fitting, as well as carpentry and woodwork. Its powerful and rigid clamping capability makes it an indispensable tool in any workshop.

To maintain the clamp’s performance, regular maintenance is necessary. This includes cleaning the rails with solvent, keeping them free of grease, oil, dried glue, waxes, and silicone-based release agents. The rail’s fluting should be cleaned with a steel brush, and both the spindle and pressure plate require regular cleaning and oiling. If the lower part slips, a simple quarter-turn adjustment of the grub screw (applicable for TG, KRE, KREV models only) is recommended to restore grip.
