61508 - Piher Maxi-R 80cm Heavy Duty Piston F-Clamp Reversible

Professional Grade Clamping with Piher Maxi-R

The Piher Maxi-R Reversible Jaw Clamp (80cm / 32 inch) represents the pinnacle of clamping technology for professional woodworkers, carpenters, and industrial assemblers. Unlike traditional F-clamps that expose their threaded screws to the environment, the Maxi-R utilizes Piher's innovative Piston System. This fully encapsulated mechanism protects the double-threaded screw inside a steel cylinder, ensuring that sawdust, glue, concrete, and other debris never foul the threads. This design not only extends the tool's lifespan significantly but also ensures smooth, consistent operation year after year.

Versatility is at the core of the Maxi-R design. The clamp features a reversible jaw system that allows users to switch from clamping to spreading applications in seconds, without the need for additional tools. With a substantial clamping capacity of 80cm (approx. 31.5 inches) and a throat depth of 12cm, it handles large workpieces with ease. The bar itself is crafted from extra-resistant rolled steel (35x8mm), engineered to resist bowing even under the tool's maximum load.

Ergonomics and power go hand in hand with the Maxi-R. The handle is designed for maximum torque transfer, allowing you to easily achieve the rated 900 kg (1984 lbs) of clamping force. The jaws are constructed from nodular cast iron, a material far superior to standard gray cast iron in terms of impact resistance and tensile strength. Additionally, the moving jaw features a non-slip brake system, preventing the jaw from sliding down the bar unintentionally when the clamp is positioned vertically. Whether you are gluing up panels, assembling cabinetry, or securing heavy machinery parts, the Piher Maxi-R offers the reliability and force required for precision work.
