De-sta-co 507208M M8 Cap Tip Clamp Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 507208M is an M8 carbon steel cap tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with manual-operated toggle clamps. The spindle features a flat neoprene tip cap rated at 80-85A hardness, providing consistent contact and surface protection during clamping operations. Overall length is 3.27 inches (83.06 mm), with a tip surface diameter of 0.83 inches (21.08 mm). Jam nuts are included for secure positioning and adjustment. This assembly is suited for light industrial workholding applications where repeatable clamping pressure and tip durability are required. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and machine operators working with toggle clamp setups on fixtures and jigs.

The 507208M spindle assembly is intended for use with manually operated toggle clamps in production, assembly, and fixturing environments. It is a direct-replacement spindle component for applications requiring an M8 thread size with a neoprene flat cap tip. Typical use cases include workpiece positioning fixtures, welding jigs, and general-purpose clamping stations where controlled contact force and tip protection are priorities. The included jam nuts allow adjustment of the spindle extension without additional hardware.

Compatibility

Designed for use with manually operated toggle clamps requiring an M8 spindle thread. Compatible with DE-STA-CO and other manual-operated toggle clamp bodies that accept M8 threaded spindle assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or fixture builders. Disengage and lock out the associated clamping mechanism before removing or replacing the spindle assembly. Thread the spindle into the clamp body to the desired extension length, then secure the jam nut firmly against the clamp body to lock the position. Verify tip contact alignment with the workpiece before returning the clamp to service.
