De-sta-co 240208-SS Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly 3/8-16

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 240208-SS is a stainless steel cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with toggle clamps in industrial workholding applications. The spindle features a 3/8-16 thread with an overall length of 3.25 inches and a flat neoprene tip cap measuring 0.79 inches in tip surface diameter. The neoprene cap has a hardness rating of 70-80A, providing controlled clamping contact without marring workpiece surfaces. Jam nuts are included for secure spindle positioning. This assembly is installed by manufacturing technicians and maintenance professionals working with toggle clamp setups on production fixtures and jigs.

This spindle assembly is suited for industrial and manufacturing environments where toggle clamps are used to secure workpieces during machining, welding, or assembly operations. It is compatible with a range of DE-STA-CO horizontal and vertical hold down clamps as well as pneumatic clamp models. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications requiring corrosion resistance, including wash-down environments. The flat tip cap distributes clamping force evenly across the contact point, reducing the risk of surface damage on finished or semi-finished parts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by industrial maintenance technicians or fixture builders. Before replacing or adjusting the spindle assembly, ensure the toggle clamp is fully released and the associated machine or fixture is de-energized or locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Use the included jam nuts to lock the spindle at the correct extension depth. Avoid over-tightening the jam nuts against the clamp body, which can distort threads and affect clamping repeatability.
