De-sta-co 305208-M M5 Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 305208-M is an M5 threaded spindle assembly designed for use with toggle clamps in industrial fixturing and workholding applications. The spindle features a carbon steel body paired with a flat neoprene tip cap rated at 80-85A durometer, providing firm yet surface-protecting contact during clamping cycles. Overall length is 1.14 inches with a thread length of approximately 0.98 inches. The 0.39-inch tip surface diameter and included jam nuts allow for precise clamping force adjustment. This assembly is installed by maintenance technicians and fixturing specialists working on manual or pneumatic toggle clamp setups.

This spindle assembly is suited for light industrial and manufacturing environments where toggle clamps are used to secure workpieces on jigs, fixtures, and assembly tables. The neoprene flat tip cap protects finished or soft surfaces from marring during repeated clamping. Compatible with DE-STA-CO 201 Vertical Hold Down Clamps, 305 Horizontal Hold Down Clamps, and 812 Pneumatic Clamps. The M5 thread size is common in metric fixturing setups across a range of production and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or fixturing personnel. Thread the spindle into the clamp body by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then use the included jam nuts to lock the assembly at the desired clamping height. Verify the tip cap is fully seated and undamaged before returning the clamp to service. Ensure the clamp is fully released and de-energized before servicing pneumatic clamp models.
