De-sta-co 213208-M-L M5 Cap Tip Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 213208-M-L is an M5 carbon steel cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with toggle clamps in industrial and mechanical holding applications. The spindle features a flat neoprene tip cap rated at 80-85A hardness, providing a firm yet non-marring contact surface with a tip surface diameter of 0.24 inches (6.1 mm). Overall length is 1.34 inches (34.04 mm) with a thread length of approximately 1.18 inches (29.97 mm). Jam nuts are included. Licensed trades and assembly technicians working with hold-down clamping fixtures rely on this type of spindle assembly for repeatable, damage-free workholding setups.

This spindle assembly is specifically listed for use with the DE-STA-CO 213 Horizontal Hold Down Clamp. It is suited for production line fixtures, welding jigs, and fabrication workholding setups where a threaded spindle with a replaceable neoprene tip cap is required. The flat tip cap geometry is appropriate for flat or near-flat workpiece surfaces. This assembly is a direct-fit component, not a modified or custom part, making it a straightforward field replacement or spare.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or tooling specialists working on fixture assemblies. Before servicing or replacing the spindle, ensure the clamp is fully released and the fixture is de-energized or removed from any active production line. Thread the spindle into the clamp body by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then use the included jam nuts to lock the spindle at the desired extension depth. Do not overtighten jam nuts beyond snug-plus-firm hand torque without reference to the clamp manufacturer guidance.
