Vlier NP306 Toggle Pad 1/2-13 Unc Steel Tip

Product Description

The VLIER NP306 is a toggle pad designed for use with threaded clamping and fixturing applications. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread, a Delrin pad material, and a steel tip, making it suited for holding and positioning workpieces without marring surfaces. The pad diameter is 7/8 inches, the overall length is 15/16 inches, and the width across flats measures 3/4 inches. The depth is 7/16 inches. A 15-degree swivel angle allows the pad to conform to angled or uneven workpiece surfaces. The zinc plated gold chromate finish provides corrosion resistance for shop and industrial environments. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance personnel install this hardware as part of toggle clamp and workholding setups.

This toggle pad is used in workholding, fixturing, and clamping assemblies found in manufacturing, machining, and industrial maintenance environments. The uncoated bottom allows direct contact with clamp bodies or fixtures. The Delrin pad face protects finished or sensitive workpiece surfaces during clamping. The 15-degree swivel angle accommodates non-perpendicular contact surfaces, reducing point loading and improving grip stability across a range of setups.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for compatibility with standard toggle clamp hardware
• Delrin pad material protects workpiece surfaces from marring
• Steel tip construction for durability under repeated clamping cycles
• 15-degree swivel angle accommodates angled or uneven contact surfaces
• Zinc plated gold chromate finish for corrosion resistance
• Uncoated bottom for direct seating against clamp bodies or fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit toggle pad for 1/2-13 UNC threaded toggle clamp assemblies used in workholding and fixturing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the NP306 directly onto the 1/2-13 UNC stud of the toggle clamp body. Ensure the clamp assembly is in the open, unclamped position before replacing or adjusting the pad. Use appropriate wrenches sized to the 3/4-inch width across flats for tightening. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the Delrin pad face or affect swivel function.
