Destaco 240208 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 in welding, drilling & milling applications in the aerospace, automotive and food & packaging industries. This Destaco 240208 toggle clamp spindle assembly will eliminate the possibility of disfiguring when the rubber stopper wears away, and will protect toggle clamps from damage caused by abrasion / twisting / flexing by serving as a replacement unit for toggle clamps. The spindle can be adjusted to accommodate materials of varying thicknesses and can mount onto compatible toggle clamps including manual, power and hydraulic clamps. The spindle features neoprene construction to exhibit chemical stability by maintaining flexibility over temperatures ranging from -20 degrees to 100 degrees Celsius, as well as ensuring maximum clamping force. Additionally, Destaco 240208 toggle clamp spindle assembly 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, this spindle offers exceptional service life and hardness of 70 - 80 Shore A. It features a holding capacity of 750 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Are other variants of spindles available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Yes, Raptor Supplies also offers Destaco 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 reduce marking on fragile or polished surfaces while swivel foot spindles are used where a large areas needs to be clamped.
Q. Which spindle is better - neoprene or stainless steel?
A. Both spindles have unique features owing to the construction. Neoprene spindles have neoprene constructed tips to prevent marring during camping as well as exhibit chemical stability by maintaining flexibility over a wide temperature range. Stainless steel spindles ensure prolonged service life with anti-corrosion properties and also ensure high tensile strength in extremely high & low temperatures.
Q. What does clamping force mean?
A. Clamping force is the amount of force actually applied to the workpiece by closing & locking the clamp. It is normally less than the stated holding capacity. The actual clamping force depends on various factors, such as cylinder bore, cylinder area, spindle position (clamping arm length) and available air pressure. In most cases, the clamping force is approximately 2 to 3 times the force exerted by a pneumatic cylinder.
