Jergens 36104 Tang Square Spring Locating Stop

Product Description

The JERGENS 36104 is a tang square spring locating stop designed to position and retain workpieces or components in fixture and assembly applications. The stop uses a spring-loaded mechanism with a 0.125-inch stroke length and a mid-end force of 10 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable contact force against a workpiece. The body is constructed from zinc aluminum alloy, and the stop head is made from low carbon steel. With a compact body width of 0.9375 inches and a body length of 0.6875 inches, this locating stop fits into tight fixture layouts. It is typically installed by toolmakers, fixture builders, and machine shop technicians.

The JERGENS 36104 is suited for use in workholding fixtures, jigs, and assembly tooling where a reliable spring-actuated stop is required. The tang profile allows for controlled positioning within a mounting slot. The 21/32-inch distance between mounting hole centers and the included mounting slot dimensions make this stop compatible with standard fixture plate layouts used in light manufacturing and precision machining environments. It is appropriate for both prototype and production fixture builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolmakers or fixture technicians using standard machine shop hand tools. Before servicing or replacing a locating stop in an active fixture, ensure all associated machinery is powered down and any clamping or pneumatic systems are fully depressurized. Follow applicable workplace safety and fixture-design standards when specifying stop force and placement. Confirm mounting slot clearances match the stop body dimensions before installation to avoid binding.
