It features a spring-loaded, locking plunger mechanism designed for indexing, positioning, and holding applications in mechanical assemblies and industrial fixtures. The knurled knob allows for tool-free hand adjustment while the locking element locks the plunger in the retracted position for hands-free operation. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds, with a final end force of 2 pounds. This plunger is installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers in light industrial, HVAC equipment, and control panel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locking plunger is suited for use in sheet metal enclosures, control cabinets, machine guards, and access panels where a positive-locking, retractable plunger is needed. The compact form factor and standard 1\/4-20 thread make it compatible with a wide range of fabricated steel and aluminum assemblies. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, and general-purpose mechanical positioning applications where repeatable engagement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking plunger design holds retracted position for hands-free panel or cover removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled knob style allows tool-free hand adjustment and locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 1\/4-20 thread for straightforward installation into threaded panels or mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring end force range of 0.5 pounds initial to 2 pounds final for reliable indexing engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact plunger projection of 0.125 inches and overall plunger length of 0.805 inches suits tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, suitable for single-unit replacement or new installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install locking plunger for mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and fixtures that accept a standard 1\/4-20 threaded locking plunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand or with a wrench on the threaded shank into a pre-tapped or threaded mounting location.
