The plunger features a knobless threaded stud body with a 5\/16-18 thread size and a 5\/8-inch thread length, allowing direct installation into tapped holes without a separate knob component. Built from stainless steel with a zinc-plated finish, the 34176 delivers an initial end force of 0.75 pounds rising to a final end force of 3 pounds. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.155 inches with a diameter tolerance of plus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for precision-fit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plunger is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring repeatable spring-loaded positioning. Typical applications include panel mounting, jig and fixture work, machine guards, and equipment housings where a flush or low-profile actuator is needed. The knobless threaded stud configuration is common in tight-clearance installations where a protruding knob is not practical. Installers in manufacturing maintenance, industrial service, and mechanical assembly will encounter this style of plunger in both OEM builds and field replacement scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-locking plunger type with spring-loaded end force ranging from 0.75 to 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnobless threaded stud design with 5\/16-18 external thread and 5\/8-inch thread length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.155 inches with a tight tolerance of plus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlunger projection of 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches) and plunger length of 1.438 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element present on body for secure thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for industrial assemblies using 5\/16-18 threaded plunger mountings with a knobless stud configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools.
