De-sta-co 235110 Clamp Spindle Replacement Cap Neoprene

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 235110 is a slip-on replacement cap designed for standard clamp spindle assemblies. It fits over a 3/8-inch diameter standard spindle using a 3/8-16 thread and features a round-end tip profile. Molded from neoprene at Shore 60-70A hardness, the cap provides a firm yet compliant contact surface that protects workpieces during clamping operations. With an overall length of 0.88 inches and a hole diameter of 0.3386 inches, it is a direct replacement for worn or damaged spindle tips. Maintenance technicians and fixture setup crews typically handle this replacement as part of routine tooling upkeep on toggle-clamp workholding systems.

This cap is used on production lines, welding fixtures, and assembly jigs where DE-STA-CO standard spindle clamps are installed. The neoprene material resists deformation across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both climate-controlled shops and environments where ambient temperatures drop as low as -40 degrees F. It installs without tools by slipping onto the spindle end, making field replacement fast during scheduled maintenance or unplanned downtime.

Key Features

• Neoprene construction at Shore 60-70A hardness for firm, workpiece-safe contact
• Slip-on installation onto 3/8-inch diameter standard spindles, no tools required
• 3/8-16 thread engagement for secure retention on the spindle assembly
• Round-end tip profile distributes clamping load evenly across the contact point
• Rated for minimum operating temperature of -40 degrees F
• Direct replacement cap - sold individually for targeted maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement cap for DE-STA-CO standard spindle clamp assemblies using a 3/8-inch diameter spindle with 3/8-16 thread. Also compatible with M10 spindle configurations as noted in product specifications.

Installation Notes

This cap is installed by maintenance technicians or fixture engineers during clamp servicing. Before replacing the spindle cap, relieve all clamping force and ensure the workholding fixture is in the open and de-energized position. The slip-on design requires no tools, but inspect the spindle threads and tip condition before seating the new cap. Discard caps that show cuts, hardening, or significant deformation, as compromised tips can affect clamping consistency.
