Gibraltar MSDKL38-G Locking Knob Handle Plunger M10x1.5

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSDKL38-G is a locking knob handle plunger designed for precision positioning and holding applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Built from stainless steel with a black finish and a Delrin knob, this plunger features an M10x1.5 thread with a 20mm thread length and a body length of 0.98 inches. It delivers an initial end force of 0.22 pounds and a final end force of 2.02 pounds, providing reliable spring tension for indexing, alignment, and workholding tasks. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and equipment maintenance professionals install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and machine panels.

This plunger suits applications where a manually retractable and lockable positioning element is needed. The locking knob style allows the plunger to be held in the retracted position for loading or unloading workpieces, then released to re-engage. It is appropriate for use in industrial machinery, fixtures, production equipment, and similar mechanical assemblies where repeatable, controlled plunger engagement is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for industrial fixtures, jigs, machine panels, and positioning assemblies that accept M10x1.5 threaded spring plungers with a locking knob handle.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a wrench sized for the 0.39-inch hex. Thread the plunger into a tapped M10x1.5 hole in the mounting panel or fixture body and tighten securely. Ensure the mating hole depth is sufficient to accommodate the 20mm thread length without bottoming out. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing components in the assembly.
