Gibraltar LN-6-PT-G Spring Plunger L Handle 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LN-6-PT-G is a non-locking spring plunger with an L-style steel handle, designed for positioning, locating, and indexing applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 5/8-11 thread size with a thread length of 1.07 inches and a body length of 1.88 inches. It delivers an initial end force of 0.75 pounds and a final end force of 2.5 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty holding and detent functions. The steel handle provides manual actuation without tools. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and equipment panels.

This spring plunger is used in machine tool fixtures, assembly jigs, indexing mechanisms, and equipment enclosures where a manually retractable locating pin is required. The non-locking design allows the plunger to retract freely under load without a secondary locking step. It is appropriate for both light production and maintenance environments where repeatable part location or panel retention is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement spring plunger for industrial fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded non-locking L-handle plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped through-hole or blind hole sized for 5/8-11 threads. Thread the plunger body into the prepared hole by hand using the L-handle, then tighten to the appropriate torque per the fixture design requirements. Ensure the plunger projection axis is aligned with the locating feature before final tightening. No special tools or power lockout procedures are typically required for this hardware, though standard machine guarding and safe work practices apply.
