Gibraltar MSDKL25-PT-G Locking Knob Handle Plunger M6x1.0

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSDKL25-PT-G is a locking knob handle plunger designed for precision positioning and indexing applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features an M6x1.0 thread with a 13mm thread length and a stainless steel body measuring 0.63 inches in length. The Delrin knob provides a secure, ergonomic grip, while the locking element holds the plunger in the retracted position to facilitate easy part loading and unloading. Initial end force is 0.11 pounds, with a final end force of 0.34 pounds. Maximum plunger diameter is 0.118 inches with a plunger projection of 0.118 inches. Maintenance technicians, tool-and-die workers, and machine builders typically install this component.

This plunger is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and general-purpose mechanical assemblies requiring a compact, threaded locking plunger. The M6x1.0 thread size fits standard metric threaded holes, making it applicable across a wide range of production and fabrication environments. The locking knob function is especially useful in applications where the plunger must remain retracted during workpiece positioning before being released to engage. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Locking element holds plunger retracted for hands-free workpiece loading
• M6x1.0 thread with 13mm thread length for standard metric installations
• Stainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Delrin knob provides durable, non-marring grip surface
• Compact body length of 0.63 inches suits tight-clearance fixture designs
• End force range of 0.11 pounds initial to 0.34 pounds final for consistent spring-loaded engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for metric-threaded fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies accepting an M6x1.0 threaded locking plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using standard metric hand tools. Thread the plunger into a prepared M6x1.0 tapped hole and torque by hand or with a wrench applied to the 0.236-inch hex feature on the body. Ensure the mating threaded hole depth accommodates the 13mm thread length and that adequate clearance exists for the plunger projection of 0.118 inches. Disengage any locking load and confirm free plunger travel before returning the assembly to service.
