The plunger features a 5\/8-11 thread size with a 1 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.373 inches. Initial end force is 1.25 pounds, with a final end force of 5 pounds, providing a controlled spring-loaded holding action. The knobless threaded stud configuration allows flush or recessed installation where an external knob is not required. Stainless steel construction with a zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Licensed trade professionals and industrial MRO technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 34248SS is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, machine frames, and positioning assemblies where repeatable spring-loaded engagement is needed. The locking element locks the plunger in the retracted position, making it practical for applications requiring hands-free operation or repeated access to a work surface. The threaded stud body allows direct installation into tapped holes without an exposed knob above the mounting surface. This plunger is commonly found in manufacturing equipment, assembly fixtures, and mechanical enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element holds plunger in retracted position for hands-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 thread size with 1 inch thread length for direct installation into tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring end force range: 1.25 pounds initial to 5 pounds final\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.373 inches with a tolerance of plus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobless threaded stud design allows low-profile or flush mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel material with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install locking plunger for applications with a 5\/8-11 tapped hole, compatible with fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring a knobless threaded stud plunger with locking capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a tapped 5\/8-11 hole in the receiving assembly. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing or replacing plunger components in mechanical fixtures. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or torque to manufacturer specifications as dictated by the host assembly design. Do not exceed the rated final end force when compressing the plunger, as over-compression may damage the internal spring or locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\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 inch)\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 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inch\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\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless 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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 34248SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716665737522,"sku":"34248SS","price":61.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b167340ae56e39fc152fc260dcf81302.jpg?v=1788529944","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-34248ss-locking-plunger-5-8-11-threaded-stud","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
