De-sta-co 247208-M M12 Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 247208-M is an M12 carbon steel cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with manual-operated toggle clamps. The spindle features an overall length of 4.02 inches and an M12 thread size, making it a direct-fit component for standard toggle clamp fixtures. The flat neoprene tip cap measures 1.18 inches in tip surface diameter and carries a Shore A hardness rating of 80 to 85A, providing controlled contact force without marring workpiece surfaces. Jam nuts are included. This assembly is suited for production fixturing, welding, and workholding applications where repeatable clamping force and workpiece protection are required.

The 247208-M is used in industrial and manufacturing environments wherever manual-operated toggle clamps are employed. Typical applications include jig and fixture setups, welding positioners, and assembly line workholding. The flat neoprene tip cap absorbs minor surface irregularities and reduces the risk of workpiece damage during clamping. The assembly is rated for operation down to -22 degrees F, making it suitable for use in unheated facilities or cold-process environments.

Key Features

• M12 thread size with 4.02-inch overall length for standard toggle clamp fitment
• Carbon steel spindle construction for strength and durability in production environments
• Flat neoprene tip cap (80-85A Shore A hardness) protects workpiece surfaces during clamping
• 1.18-inch tip surface diameter provides broad contact area
• Jam nuts included for secure spindle height adjustment and lockdown
• Rated for operation down to -22 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with manual-operated toggle clamps. Verify M12 thread compatibility with the clamp body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or fixture builders as part of jig and fixture assembly or scheduled maintenance. Before servicing or replacing the spindle, relieve all clamping force and confirm the clamp arm is in the open position. Adjust spindle height to the required contact point and secure using the included jam nuts to prevent movement under load. Do not overtighten the jam nuts in a way that could compromise thread engagement on the clamp body.
