Gibraltar KNL-2-G Knob Handle Plunger 5/16-18 Non-locking

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR KNL-2-G is a knob handle plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The unit features a 5/16-18 thread with a 5/8-inch thread length and a non-locking plunger design. End force ranges from 1 pound initial to 6 pounds final, making it suitable for light-duty spring-loaded positioning tasks. The knurled knob head provides a secure finger grip for tool-free adjustment. This plunger is installed by maintenance technicians and machine builders working on jigs, fixtures, and positioning hardware.

The KNL-2-G fits applications requiring a compact, spring-loaded plunger with a thread engagement suitable for thin panels and light structural members. With a body length of 0.76 inches and a plunger projection of 0.188 inches, the part suits installations where minimal protrusion is needed. Typical uses include fixture locating pins, detent mechanisms, and adjustable stop assemblies in industrial equipment and fabrication setups.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 5/16-18 through-hole or blind hole in the mating component. Thread the plunger in by hand using the knurled knob, then verify the plunger moves freely and seats without binding. Ensure adequate thread engagement depth to handle the applied spring force without stripping. Lockout and de-energize any associated machinery before installing or replacing plungers in active fixtures or assemblies.
