Gibraltar IPG-106ss-G Lockout Indexing Plunger M12x1.5

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR IPG-106ss-G is a lockout knob handle indexing plunger designed for positive positioning in jigs, fixtures, and machine assemblies. Built to Plunger Style D, it features an M12x1.5 threaded shank with a 17 mm thread length and a 6 mm plunger diameter, delivering an initial end force of 6 newtons and a final end force of 14 newtons. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wash-down and high-humidity environments. A built-in lock nut secures the plunger at the desired axial position once installed. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this plunger wherever a repeatable, hand-retractable locating pin is required.

This indexing plunger is suited for use in production fixtures, work-holding equipment, rotary tables, and adjustment mechanisms on industrial and light-duty commercial machinery. The lockout function allows the plunger to be held in the retracted position without continuous manual force, simplifying loading and unloading of workpieces. At 51.7 mm overall length with a 20 mm body length, it fits compact fixture designs where space is limited.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M12x1.5 indexing plunger for use in fixtures, jigs, and machinery requiring a lockout-style locating plunger with a Style D body configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger shank into a tapped M12x1.5 hole in the fixture body, then tightening the lock nut against the mounting surface to set axial depth. Ensure the mating index hole is sized to accept the 6 mm plunger without binding. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing or replacing indexing hardware. Use appropriate thread-locking practices per equipment manufacturer guidelines where vibration is present.
