Destaco 105208 toggle clamp spindle assembly or flat tip bonded neoprene spindle is a threaded rod with a rubber stopper, which is used to secure materials to work surfaces. This ensures optimal performance and functionality for welding, drilling and milling applications in the aerospace, automotive, and food and packaging industries. This spindle will eliminate the possibility of disfiguring when the rubber stopper wears away, and it will protect toggle clamps from damage caused by abrasion, twisting or flexing, by serving as a replacement unit. Destaco 105208 toggle clamp spindle assembly can be adjusted to accommodate materials of varying thicknesses and can mount onto compatible toggle clamps, including manual, power & hydraulic clamps. The spindle features neoprene construction to exhibit chemical stability by maintaining flexibility over temperatures ranging from -20 degrees to 100 degrees Celsius and ensure maximum clamping force. Additionally, Destaco 105208 flat tip bonded neoprene spindle comes equipped with a neoprene tip to minimise marring and includes jam nut adjusters to measure clamping distances. Owing to its oil resistant and silicone-free properties, it offers exceptional service life and offers hardness of 70 - 80 Shore A.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Are other variants of Destaco 105208 spindle available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Yes, Raptor Supplies also offers Destaco metric threaded neoprene spindles, swivel foot spindles, round bonded spindles and hex head spindles.
Q. What is the difference between flat tip bonded spindles and swivel foot spindles?
A. The flat tip bonded spindles are used to reduce marking on fragile or polished surfaces while swivel foot spindles are used where a workpiece with a large surface area needs to be clamped.
Q. How is clamping force different from the holding force / capacity?
A. The term holding force or capacity indicates the ideal strength of the clamp for holding down equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on assembly lines or during similar industrial applications. The holding force is measured during the clamp manufacturing process, so it does not provide a practical measure of the capacity of the clamp. Clamping force or exerting force denotes the actual force exerted by the clamp onto workpieces for holding them. The clamping force is generally lesser than the holding capacity, due to several factors, such as the position of the spindle in the clamping bar and the opposing force applied on the clamp.
Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps?
A. A coupling grease, such as Mobil XTC is recommended for use with the brand's mechanical clamps.
Q. Are Destaco clamps rust resistant?
A. All Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to withstand & minimise wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for applications requiring clamping in outdoor conditions.
Q. Are Destaco clamps used for hoisting or lifting applications?
A. No, Destaco clamps are load-rated only for clamping applications. They are not designed for hoisting or lifting applications.
