Vlier SSP306 Toggle Pad 1/2-13 Stainless Steel 7/8 in

Product Description

The VLIER SSP306 is a stainless steel toggle pad designed for use with threaded clamping and workholding applications. It threads onto a 1/2-13 UNC stud and provides a stable, swiveling contact surface between a clamp arm and the workpiece. The pad features a 7/8-inch pad diameter, a 15-degree swivel angle for self-alignment on non-parallel surfaces, and an uncoated bottom face. Overall length is 15/16 inches, with a 7/16-inch depth and a 3/4-inch width across flats. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fixture builders install this type of pad where consistent, damage-free clamping contact is required.

This toggle pad is suited for manual and hydraulic clamp assemblies used in machining fixtures, welding positioners, and production workholding setups. The 15-degree swivel angle allows the contact face to seat flush against angled or slightly irregular workpiece surfaces without requiring precise clamp alignment. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in coolant-rich or high-humidity shop environments. It is a standard replacement or spare component for toggle clamp assemblies using 1/2-13 UNC threaded studs.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread for direct installation onto standard toggle clamp studs
• 15-degree swivel angle allows self-seating contact on angled or uneven workpiece surfaces
• 7/8-inch pad diameter spreads clamping load across the contact area
• Uncoated bottom face provides direct metal-to-metal contact
• Stainless steel tip material resists corrosion in coolant and high-humidity environments
• Compact form factor: 15/16-inch overall length, 3/4-inch width across flats

Compatibility

Designed for use with toggle clamp assemblies and workholding fixtures that accept a 1/2-13 UNC threaded pad stud.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard wrench sized for a 3/4-inch width across flats. Ensure the mating clamp stud thread is clean and undamaged before threading on the pad. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can restrict the swivel action of the pad. Verify the swivel moves freely after installation to confirm proper seating against the workpiece during clamping cycles.
