It features a 5\/8-11 thread size with a 1 inch thread length and a stud thread size of 1\/2-13. The plunger is made from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. Initial end force is 1.25 pounds, advancing to a final end force of 5 pounds when locked. Maximum plunger diameter is 0.373 inches with a diameter tolerance of plus 0.001 inches. The locking element engages to hold the plunger in a fixed position, making this suitable for repeatable setups in manufacturing, fabrication, or equipment maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GIBRALTAR 34248 is used in applications requiring a secure, repeatable plunger stop or index point — typically in jigs, fixtures, machine guards, and shop equipment. The knobless threaded stud design allows the plunger to be installed into a custom housing or panel where an external knob is not required or is supplied separately. It is suited for light industrial and trade environments where controlled engagement force and positive locking are needed. The plunger projection of 0.3125 inches and a length under head of 1.3125 inches fit standard panel thicknesses common in fabricated steel assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 main thread with 1 inch thread length for secure panel mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element holds plunger firmly in position during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 1.25 pounds, final end force of 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnobless threaded stud (1\/2-13) for integration into custom housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlunger diameter tolerance of plus 0.001 inches for consistent fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-replacement or OEM-style locking plunger for standard 5\/8-11 threaded panel installations in jigs, fixtures, and light industrial equipment where a knobless threaded stud configuration is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a machinist, fabricator, or maintenance technician using standard threading tools compatible with a 5\/8-11 thread. Ensure the mating panel or housing is de-energized and secure before installing or replacing the plunger assembly. Do not overtighten the stud into the housing; thread engagement should be confirmed by feel and visual inspection. Verify plunger projection and locking action before returning equipment to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.373 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.186 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\/Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3125 inches (1-5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Stud without Knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 34248\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690906190130,"sku":"34248","price":43.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1cd5ee7e1a6611153a3a559365fc7991.jpg?v=1788277381","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-34248-locking-plunger-5-8-11-thread-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
