Straight Line Action Clamps
If you are looking for straight line action clamps, GOOD HAND is definitely your best choice since our straight line action clamps are versatile and quality-guaranteed. Our push pull toggle clamps enable users to apply a low input force, but to create a high output clamping force, helping you save much strength.
Our push pull toggle clamp models include push pull toggle clamps with flat base, push pull toggle clamp low profile, push pull toggle clamp nose mounted, push pull toggle clamp heavy duty, push pull toggle clamp precision, push pull toggle clamp straight base. We also have a range of push pull toggle clamps in stainless steel, which is stainless steel push pull toggle clamps.
GOOD HAND push pull toggle clamps convert a low input force at the handle into a higher, straight-line output force at the plunger, without the offset arm swing of a hold-down clamp. That straight-line action suits fixtures where the clamping point must move in a single axis — nose-mounted die and mold work, in-line assembly stations, and welding jigs where side clearance is limited. The range spans flat base, straight base, nose mounted, low profile, precision and heavy duty configurations, in both steel and stainless steel, so fixture designers can match the base footprint and stroke to the actual mounting surface rather than adapting the surface to the clamp.
How to Select a Push Pull Toggle Clamp
| Selection Factor | What to Check |
| Base mounting style | Flat base for top-plate mounting; straight base for in-line layouts; nose mounted for front-face access |
| Body material | Steel for general industrial use; stainless steel where moisture or coolant exposure is a factor |
| Stroke / plunger travel | Distance the plunger must move to reach and lock the workpiece |
| Profile height | Low profile models where vertical clearance above the fixture is restricted |
| Duty level | Standard vs. heavy duty models for higher repetitive clamping loads |
| Precision requirement | Precision series where repeatable, low-tolerance positioning is needed |
Confirm plunger stroke, base dimensions and mounting-hole pattern on the individual model page before ordering.
Typical Applications
- Welding and brazing fixtures

Frequently Asked Questions About Straight Line Action Clamps
What is a push pull toggle clamp? It is a toggle-action clamp in which the handle stroke drives a plunger in a straight line rather than swinging an arm through an arc. This makes it suited to fixtures where the clamping point needs to advance directly into or against a workpiece, such as nose-mounted die work, rather than pressing down from above.
How do I choose between flat base and straight base models? Base choice follows how the clamp mounts to the fixture. Flat base models suit general top or face-plate mounting; straight base models suit in-line tooling layouts where the clamp body needs a narrower footprint along one axis.
When should I use a nose-mounted model? Nose mounted push pull clamps are designed for front-face installation, useful when the mounting surface is vertical or access from behind the fixture is restricted, such as in die and mold applications.
What is the difference between standard and heavy duty push pull clamps? Heavy duty models are built for higher, more frequent clamping loads than the standard range. Choose the standard series for general fixture work and heavy duty where the process repeatedly applies higher force to the plunger.
Why choose a stainless steel push pull clamp? The stainless steel range is intended for environments with moisture, coolant or washdown cleaning where a plated steel body would corrode over time; standard steel models are suited to general dry industrial use.
