It features a 3\/8-16 threaded shank with a 0.75-inch thread length and a knurled locking knob that allows controlled engagement and release of the spring-loaded plunger. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, making it suited for light-duty locking and locating tasks. Constructed from steel with a gold zinc chromate finish, this plunger is installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers in equipment panels, fixtures, and jigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KLS-3-G is used in industrial machinery, fabrication fixtures, and mechanical assemblies where a repeatable, hand-operated locking plunger is required. The knurled knob provides a secure grip for tool-free operation in both production and maintenance environments. This style of plunger is commonly found in sheet metal enclosures, machine guards, and adjustable positioning fixtures across light manufacturing and general industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking knob plunger design allows controlled plunger engagement and release by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurled knob style provides positive grip without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 threaded shank with 0.75-inch thread length for standard installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.5 pounds rising to final end force of 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction with gold zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact plunger length of 1.26 inches suits space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation locking knob plunger for industrial fixtures, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded plunger mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools.
