Vlier SSP304 Toggle Pad 3/8-16 Stainless Steel Uncoated

Product Description

The VLIER SSP304 is a stainless steel toggle pad designed for use with toggle clamps, fixtures, and work-holding setups in industrial and manufacturing environments. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread for secure attachment to compatible clamp arms and spindles. The pad diameter measures 3/4 inches, providing a stable contact surface. With an uncoated bottom and a 15-degree swivel angle, this toggle pad allows slight angular self-adjustment to conform to uneven workpiece surfaces. Pad material is steel and tip material is stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and durability in demanding shop environments. Licensed technicians, machinists, and fixture builders typically install this component.

The SSP304 toggle pad is suited for use in light to medium-duty work-holding applications on toggle clamps in production lines, welding fixtures, and assembly jigs. The 15-degree swivel range accommodates minor surface irregularities without requiring precise fixture alignment. At 3/16 inches overall length and 5/8 inches width across flats, this is a compact, low-profile pad. It is appropriate for both manual and semi-automated clamping systems where direct metal-to-metal contact with an uncoated bottom is acceptable for the workpiece material involved.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard toggle clamp spindles
• 15-degree swivel angle allows self-adjustment to angled or uneven workpiece surfaces
• 3/4 inch pad diameter provides stable contact area
• Stainless steel tip material resists corrosion in wet or chemical environments
• Uncoated bottom for direct metal-to-metal contact applications
• Compact form factor at 3/16 inches overall length and 5/8 inches width across flats

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade toggle pad for toggle clamps and work-holding fixtures using a 3/8-16 UNC threaded spindle or clamp arm.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture technicians using standard hand tools sized to the 5/8 inch width across flats. Ensure the clamp or fixture is fully de-energized and in the open position before removing or installing the toggle pad. Thread the pad onto the spindle by hand first, then tighten with a wrench to snug contact without over-torquing the stainless steel threads. Verify swivel movement is free and unobstructed after installation before returning the fixture to service.
