Toggle clamp spindle assembliesare used for secure clamping / holding of a workpiece when attached to a toggle clamp. These spindle assemblies have steel construction and are available in flat, rounded & swivel foot style neoprene tips. Flat tip bonded neoprenespindles are ideal for welding, drilling and milling applications in aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. They have imperial threadings for quick fastening onto clamping bars of manual clamps. These units have oil resistant, LABS (silicone) free construction with a neoprene tip for delivering maximum clamping force while preventing the marring / marking of work surfaces due to high operating pressure or holding force. The neoprene tips further provide chemical stability & operational flexibility in temperatures ranging from -20 to 100 degrees C. The neoprene rubber tips have a hardness of 80 Shore A that prevents damage caused by abrasion / twisting / flexing of the workpiece. They come with jam nuts to accommodate materials of varying thicknesses by allowing adjustments between clamping distances. Destaco 201208 flat tip bonded neoprene spindle has metallic body with 10-32 threading and a black coloured tip of 0.56 inch cap width. The spindle has a length of 1.38 inches and is adjustable according to the workpiece. This spindle is available in variants having lengths ranging from 1 to 5.75 inches on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Are other variants of Destaco 201208 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 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 the equipment, workpieces or sheet metal on the assembly line or during other industrial applications. The holding force is measured during the clamp manufacturing process, so 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 on the 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 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.
