De-sta-co 507209 Swivel Foot Clamp Spindle Assembly

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 507209 is a swivel foot tip clamp spindle assembly designed for use with toggle clamps in industrial workholding and fixturing applications. Machined from carbon steel with a 5/16-18 thread size and a 1.94-inch thread length, this spindle provides secure, adjustable clamping force with a neoprene flat tip cap that protects workpiece surfaces during operation. The swivel foot design allows up to 24 degrees of angular movement, accommodating slight misalignment between the spindle tip and the workpiece. Jam nuts are included for lockdown positioning. Weighing 0.3 pounds, the 507209 is a direct-fit replacement spindle for technicians servicing or upgrading toggle clamp assemblies.

This spindle assembly is suited for use in manufacturing, assembly line, and machining fixture environments where toggle clamps are the primary workholding method. The neoprene tip cap, rated at 70 to 80A hardness, is appropriate for applications requiring a non-marring contact surface on metal or finished parts. The flat tip cap shape distributes clamping load evenly across a 1.5-inch tip surface diameter. Installation is straightforward in both new fixture builds and replacement scenarios where the original spindle has worn or been damaged.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Before servicing, ensure all associated clamping equipment is fully released and the fixture is clear of workpieces. Thread the spindle to the desired clamping depth and secure position using the included jam nuts. Verify swivel movement is unrestricted after assembly and that the tip cap seats flush against the intended contact surface.
