Gibraltar MKNL-1-PT-G Knob Handle Non-locking Plunger M6x1.0

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MKNL-1-PT-G is a knurled-knob handle non-locking plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and hold-down applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features an M6x1.0 threaded shank with a thread length of 0.512 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.118 inches. Initial end force is 1 pound, with a final end force of 4 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty spring-loaded positioning tasks. The body measures 0.630 inches in length. A locking element is incorporated into the assembly. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment builders install this type of hardware in fixtures, jigs, and adjustable assemblies where repeatable manual positioning is required.

This plunger is suited for use in machine tool fixtures, production jigs, enclosures, and adjustable mechanical assemblies where a compact spring-loaded indexing point is needed. The knurled knob allows tool-free hand adjustment in tight spaces. At 0.05 pounds, the component adds minimal mass to the host assembly. Typical installations occur in light manufacturing, tooling, and equipment fabrication environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and jigs requiring an M6x1.0 spring-loaded non-locking knob plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using standard metric hand tools. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and correctly tapped to M6x1.0 before installation. Do not overtighten the plunger body, as this may restrict plunger travel or damage the spring mechanism. Verify plunger projection and end-force requirements match the application before finalizing installation.
