Vlier SSP302 Toggle Pad 5/16-18 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VLIER SSP302 is a stainless steel toggle pad designed for use with toggle clamps, workholding fixtures, and clamping assemblies in industrial and manufacturing applications. The pad features a 5/16-18 UNC thread, an 11/16-inch pad diameter, and a 15-degree swivel angle that allows the contact face to self-align against angled or uneven workpiece surfaces. The uncoated steel bottom provides a solid metal-to-metal interface, and the stainless steel tip construction resists corrosion in washdown or coolant-exposed environments. Overall length is 3/4 inch with a 9/16-inch width across flats and a 3/8-inch depth, making it a compact, direct-replacement pad for standard toggle clamp assemblies.

This toggle pad is suited for light manufacturing, tooling, and fixture applications where a swiveling contact point is required to maintain consistent clamping pressure across flat or slightly off-plane surfaces. Typical installations include drill fixtures, welding jigs, assembly fixtures, and machine tool workholding setups. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with common toggle clamp stems found in production environments.

Key Features

• 15-degree swivel angle for self-aligning contact on angled or irregular surfaces
• Stainless steel tip material for corrosion resistance in coolant or washdown environments
• Uncoated bottom provides direct metal-to-metal clamping interface
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard toggle clamp stems
• Compact 3/4-inch overall length fits tight fixture geometries

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement toggle pad for toggle clamp assemblies using a 5/16-18 UNC threaded stem.

Installation Notes

Toggle pads are typically installed or replaced by toolmakers, fixture builders, or maintenance technicians. Thread the pad onto the clamp stem by hand first, then tighten to seat using a wrench on the 9/16-inch flats. Ensure the clamping assembly is in the open, unclamped position before servicing. Verify swivel action moves freely after installation and that the pad face contacts the workpiece squarely under load.
