Gibraltar 855070-G Tangless Square Spring Locating Stop

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 855070-G is a tangless square spring locating stop designed for use in fixturing, workholding, and positioning applications across manufacturing and assembly environments. With a 2.0-inch body width and a 1.375-inch body length, the unit provides a compact, solid footprint. The stop delivers a mid-end force of 32 pounds and features a 0.25-inch stroke length, making it suitable for applications requiring repeatable, spring-loaded part location. The aluminum body keeps weight low at 0.03 pounds while maintaining dimensional stability. Installation is typically performed by tooling engineers, machinists, or fixture builders.

This locating stop is used in precision fixture plates, jigs, and workholding setups common in machining, fabrication, and light assembly operations. The tangless square profile allows for clean installation without a protruding tang, keeping the mounting surface flush-friendly. It is suited for use in both dedicated production fixtures and modular fixturing systems where consistent part location is critical.

Key Features

• Tangless design eliminates protruding tang for cleaner fixture plate integration
• 32-pound mid-end spring force for reliable part location and retention
• 0.25-inch stroke length provides controlled spring travel
• Aluminum body construction reduces overall fixture weight
• Stop head measures 0.75 inches wide by 0.75 inches tall for consistent contact surface
• Mounting slot width of 0.257 inches accommodates standard fixture fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit tangless square spring locating stop for use in standard fixture plates and workholding assemblies requiring a 1.5-inch mount hole center spacing and a 0.257-inch mounting slot width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or fixture technicians using standard machine screws through the mounting slots spaced 1.5 inches center to center. Ensure the fixture plate slot or bore is clean and free of burrs before seating the stop. Verify the 0.4375-inch distance between the button and bottom edge aligns with the fixture plate surface requirements before final fastening. Do not exceed the rated spring stroke, as overcompression can damage the internal spring mechanism.
