Gibraltar 855060-G Tangless Square Spring Locating Stop

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 855060-G is a tangless square spring locating stop designed for precision positioning applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. With a 1.5-inch body width and a 1-inch body length, this aluminum-bodied stop provides a compact footprint for installations where space is limited. The 3/16-inch stroke length and 14-pound middle end force make it suitable for light-duty spring-loaded positioning and retention tasks. The tangless design eliminates the protruding tang common on traditional locating stops, reducing interference risk during installation and operation. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This locating stop is used in jigs, fixtures, machine tool setups, and mechanical assemblies requiring repeatable part positioning. The square stop head measures 5/8 inch wide by 5/8 inch high, providing a defined contact surface for workpieces or components. The 1-1/8-inch center-to-center mounting hole spacing and 7/8-inch hole-to-edge distance allow for straightforward bolt-down installation into prepared mounting surfaces. The unit is sold individually and is appropriate for both OEM assembly and maintenance replacement applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using standard hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before securing the stop to prevent misalignment. Power down and de-energize any associated machinery before installing or replacing locating stops in active fixtures or tooling. Verify mounting slot clearance and fastener torque against the equipment manufacturer's fixture specifications.
