Gibraltar SKNL-1-PT-G Knob Handle Spring Plunger

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SKNL-1-PT-G is a knurled knob handle spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 1/4-20 thread size with a 0.5 inch thread length and a non-locking stainless steel plunger with a maximum diameter of 0.123 inches. The spring delivers 1 pound initial end force and 4 pounds final end force, providing reliable and consistent holding force across its travel range. This plunger is installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, panels, and equipment enclosures.

This spring plunger is suited for light-duty positioning and detent applications in manufacturing fixtures, control panels, enclosures, and similar mechanical assemblies. The compact body length of 0.79 inches and 0.125 inch plunger projection make it appropriate for installations where space is limited. Its stainless steel construction supports use in environments where corrosion resistance is required. The knurled knob allows for tool-free hand adjustment, making it practical for frequently accessed access points or adjustable stops.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard wrench into a 1/4-20 tapped hole; no special tooling is required for most applications. Ensure the mating surface and tapped hole are clean and free of debris before threading the plunger in. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing this plunger. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the body or affect plunger travel.
