De-sta-co 215208 Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly 1/4-20

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 215208 is a cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with manual-operated toggle clamps in production fixturing, welding, and workholding applications. The spindle is machined from carbon steel with a 1/4-20 thread and a 40.13 mm (1.58 inch) thread length. The flat neoprene tip cap measures 0.63 inches in tip surface diameter and carries a 70-80A durometer hardness rating, providing controlled contact pressure against workpieces without marring surfaces. Jam nuts are included. Overall length is 2.13 inches. This assembly is installed by machinists, tooling technicians, and assembly line maintenance professionals.

This spindle assembly is suited for light-duty manual toggle clamp setups in both industrial and bench-top environments. It is a direct replacement or spare component for clamps requiring a 1/4-20 threaded spindle with a flat neoprene cap tip. Typical applications include part clamping jigs, welding fixtures, and assembly fixtures where a cushioned contact point is needed. The neoprene tip material allows for use across a temperature range down to -22 degrees F, making it viable in unheated shop environments and cold-climate applications.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 carbon steel threaded spindle with 40.13 mm (1.58 inch) thread length
• Flat neoprene tip cap rated 70-80A durometer hardness for controlled, non-marring contact
• Tip surface diameter of 0.63 inches (16 mm) with a maximum tip diameter of 0.47 inches (11.94 mm)
• Jam nuts included for secure spindle height adjustment and lock-down
• Minimum operating temperature of -22 degrees F for cold-environment use
• Overall length of 2.13 inches for compact fitment in standard toggle clamp bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with manual-operated toggle clamps requiring a 1/4-20 threaded spindle assembly with a flat cap tip. Consult your toggle clamp manufacturer documentation to confirm thread size and spindle length requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tooling technicians or maintenance personnel. Release and de-energize any clamp actuator or associated fixturing before servicing spindle components. 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 height. Do not overtighten jam nuts beyond snug plus a firm turn, as this can distort the neoprene tip cap or damage the clamp body threads.
