De-sta-co 431208 Cap Tip Spindle Assembly 1/4-20

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 431208 is a cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with squeeze action plier clamps in industrial workholding applications. The spindle is machined from carbon steel and features a 1/4-20 thread with a flat neoprene tip cap rated at 70-80A durometer hardness. Overall length is 1 inch with a tip surface diameter of 0.5 inches and a tip maximum diameter of 0.66 inches. Jam nuts are included. This assembly is installed by tooling technicians and fixture builders who need a reliable, replaceable contact point on plier-style clamps.

The 431208 spindle assembly is suited for light-duty fixture and jig applications where a soft, non-marring contact surface is required. The flat neoprene tip cap protects finished or machined workpiece surfaces during clamping. It is specifically designed for use with the 424 Squeeze Action Plier Clamp. Typical installation environments include manufacturing cells, assembly fixtures, and fabrication jigs where repeatable workpiece positioning is critical.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tooling or maintenance technicians. Ensure the clamp is fully released and de-energized before replacing or adjusting the spindle assembly. Thread the spindle to the desired contact depth and secure position using the included jam nuts. Avoid over-tightening the jam nuts against the clamp body to prevent thread damage.
