OVERVIEW

Reliable Grounding for Precision Welding

The ESAB Work Clamp No. 21 is an essential component for establishing a secure and efficient electrical circuit in welding operations. A high-quality ground connection is critical for maintaining a stable arc, preventing voltage drops, and ensuring consistent weld penetration. This clamp is engineered to provide a firm grip on the workpiece, minimizing electrical resistance at the contact point. Poor grounding is a common cause of welding defects, including porosity and erratic arc behavior; the No. 21 clamp addresses this by utilizing a robust spring mechanism that maintains constant pressure against the metal surface.

Constructed with durability in mind, the clamp is designed to withstand the harsh conditions typical of industrial environments, including exposure to heat, spatter, and mechanical impact. The contact surfaces are shaped to bite through light rust or scale, ensuring a conductive path is established quickly. The compact form factor allows for placement in confined spaces where larger clamps might be obstructive, making it a versatile tool for various fabrication setups.

Integration into existing welding cable assemblies is straightforward, with connection points designed for secure cable termination. Whether used for light-duty repair work or more demanding fabrication tasks, the ESAB No. 21 Work Clamp delivers the performance reliability expected from a leading manufacturer in the welding industry. Its carded packaging ensures the product arrives protected and ready for immediate deployment in the workshop.

FAQ

Its primary function is to complete the electrical circuit by attaching the ground lead to the workpiece, ensuring current can flow back to the welding machine.

A bad ground clamp causes high resistance, leading to an unstable arc, excessive spatter, loss of power, and potential overheating of the welding cable.

It is generally suitable for most standard arc welding processes like MIG, TIG, and Stick, provided the amperage is within the clamp's rating.

Typically, the cable is stripped and secured to the clamp using a bolt or lug connection point provided on the clamp body.

No, for a proper electrical connection, the clamp jaws must contact bare metal. Paint, rust, or grease should be removed from the clamping area.

'CD' typically stands for 'Carded', indicating the product comes in retail packaging suitable for display.

Spring tension ensures the jaws maintain firm contact with the workpiece, preventing arcing at the contact point which can damage the clamp and the work.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB product, ensuring compatibility and quality consistent with the brand's standards.
