Hertel CH-SA-14134 Clamp Spindle Retainer Flat Tip 1/4in

Product Description

The HERTEL CH-SA-14134 is a flat-tip clamp spindle retainer with an integrated flanged washer, designed to secure and retain spindles in clamping assemblies across a range of machining and workholding applications. Constructed from carbon steel with a zinc finish coating, this retainer provides corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical strength under repeated use. It accommodates a 1/4-inch spindle diameter, features a 1/4-20 thread size, and measures 1.75 inches in overall length. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and industrial maintenance trades install this type of component as part of fixture and clamp setups.

This spindle retainer is suited for use in workholding fixtures, milling clamps, and similar tooling assemblies found in machine shops and industrial production environments. The flat tip design distributes clamping load evenly against the workpiece or spindle surface, making it appropriate for light to medium clamping force applications. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement component for worn or damaged spindle retainers in existing clamp assemblies.

Key Features

• Flat tip design for even load distribution during clamping
• Carbon steel construction for mechanical durability
• Zinc finish coating for corrosion resistance
• 1/4-20 thread size for standard fastener compatibility
• Fits 1/4-inch spindle diameter clamp assemblies
• Overall length of 1.75 inches for use in standard clamp configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement spindle retainer for workholding clamp assemblies requiring a 1/4-inch spindle diameter and 1/4-20 thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolroom machinists or maintenance technicians. Before replacing or adjusting spindle retainers, ensure the machine is fully powered down and any associated hydraulic or pneumatic clamping pressure is fully relieved. Use appropriate hand tools to thread the retainer to the specified engagement without over-torquing, which can deform the flanged washer or damage the spindle thread. Inspect mating spindle threads for wear or contamination before installation.
