Gibraltar KNL-0-PT-G Knob Handle Plunger 10-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR KNL-0-PT-G is a knob handle plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty holding applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 threaded body with a 0.4-inch thread length and a knurled knob head for manual actuation without tools. The spring-loaded plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, making it suitable for applications that require a firm but hand-releasable detent. The non-locking plunger design allows quick engagement and disengagement. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals, this plunger fits into threaded bores in panels, fixtures, and machine frames.

This plunger is used in light industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies where a manually operated spring plunger is needed for panel positioning, drawer indexing, or fixture alignment. The compact body length of 0.46 inches suits tight installations with limited clearance. The knurled knob provides a positive grip for hand operation in production or maintenance environments where tools are not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 10-32 threaded hole in the mating component. Thread the plunger in by hand using the knurled knob, then snug with a wrench if needed, taking care not to overtighten and distort the body. Ensure the plunger bore is clear of debris before installation so the spring mechanism travels freely. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this plunger.
