De-sta-co 215219 Clamp Spindle Replacement Cap Flat Tip

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 215219 is a screw-on replacement cap for clamp spindle assemblies used in workholding and fixturing applications. Molded from Shore 80A polyurethane, this flat-tip cap threads onto a 1/4-inch standard spindle using a 1/4-20 thread and provides a 0.5-inch contact surface diameter. At 0.69 inches overall length and 0.79 inches maximum diameter, it is a direct-fit consumable designed to protect workpiece surfaces from marring during clamping. Machine operators, tooling technicians, and fixture builders install these caps as routine maintenance items on toggle clamps and similar workholding equipment.

This replacement cap is suited for production environments where toggle clamps, hold-down clamps, or similar fixturing devices contact finished or sensitive workpiece surfaces. The polyurethane material absorbs contact stress and resists wear under repeated clamping cycles. It is applicable in light manufacturing, assembly jigs, and machine shop fixturing where standard 1/4-inch spindles are in use. The cap seats into a 0.5-inch hole depth and threads securely onto the spindle without additional hardware.

Key Features

• Shore 80A polyurethane construction resists wear and protects finished workpiece surfaces
• Flat tip profile provides consistent, even contact across the clamping surface
• 1/4-20 screw-on thread for secure, tool-free installation and quick field replacement
• 0.5-inch surface contact diameter suits standard toggle clamp spindle applications
• Rated for operation down to -70 degrees F, suitable for cold-environment fixturing
• Compact form factor: 0.69 inches overall length, 0.79 inches maximum diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement cap for standard 1/4-inch diameter clamp spindle assemblies. Fits spindles with a 1/4-20 thread form and a 0.5-inch hole depth seat.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools - the cap threads directly onto the spindle by hand. Before servicing or replacing spindle caps on active fixturing, ensure the clamp is fully released and the workholding device is not under load. Inspect the mating spindle threads for wear or damage before installing the replacement cap. Follow applicable facility lockout/tagout procedures when servicing clamps mounted on powered machinery.
