De-sta-co 431208-M M6 Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 431208-M is an M6 carbon steel cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with squeeze action plier clamps and manually operated clamping systems. The spindle body is machined from carbon steel and features an M6 thread with a 0.6 inch thread length. Overall length is 1 inch (25.4 mm). The flat cap tip is molded from neoprene rated at 80-85A durometer hardness, providing a firm, non-marring contact surface. Jam nuts are included for secure positioning and adjustment. This assembly is a direct-fit component for maintenance, tooling, and fixture setups requiring controlled clamping force on workpieces.

This spindle assembly is suited for light industrial and production environments where squeeze action plier clamps are used to hold, position, or secure workpieces during assembly, welding, or fabrication operations. The neoprene flat cap tip protects finished or sensitive surfaces from marking while maintaining solid contact. The M6 thread makes it compatible with metric tooling setups. Installation is typically performed by tooling technicians, machine builders, or maintenance professionals working with manual clamp fixtures.

Key Features

• M6 carbon steel spindle body with 0.6 inch thread length for secure fixture engagement
• 1 inch (25.4 mm) overall length for compact integration into plier clamp assemblies
• Flat neoprene cap tip at 80-85A durometer hardness resists marring on contact surfaces
• Tip surface diameter of 0.66 inches (16.76 mm) provides broad, stable clamping contact
• Includes jam nuts for precise spindle height adjustment and lockdown
• Minimum operating temperature of -20 degrees F suits cold shop and outdoor environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with squeeze action plier clamps and manually operated clamps requiring M6 spindle assemblies.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any automated fixtures before servicing clamp spindle assemblies. Thread the spindle into the clamp body by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten and lock position using the included jam nuts. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation. Verify spindle tip contact alignment with the workpiece surface before returning the fixture to service.
