Jergens 36109 Tangless Square Spring Locating Stop

Product Description

The JERGENS 36109 is a tangless square spring locating stop designed to position and retain workpieces or fixtures in manufacturing and tooling applications. The tangless design eliminates the protruding tang found on standard spring stops, reducing interference in tight or automated setups. The unit features a 2-inch body width and a 1-3/8-inch body length with a 1/4-inch stroke length, delivering consistent spring-loaded positioning force. The zinc aluminum alloy body pairs with a low carbon steel stop head for durability in high-cycle production environments. Initial and final end force are rated at 14 pounds, with a mid-stroke force of approximately 32 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders are the primary installers.

This spring locating stop is suited for use in machining fixtures, jigs, and tooling plates where repeatable workpiece location is required. The 1-1/2-inch stop head width and 1-1/2-inch stop head height provide a broad contact surface for positive engagement. The 1-1/2-inch distance between mounting hole centers and the 0.69-inch mounting slot length allow secure fastening to standard tooling plates. It is appropriate for both light production and high-volume automated fixture applications where a flush or low-profile stop profile is required to prevent interference with part loading or unloading.

Key Features

• Tangless profile eliminates tang interference in close-tolerance or automated fixture setups
• 1/4-inch stroke length with 14 lb initial and final end force for consistent spring-loaded positioning
• 32 lb mid-stroke force provides firm workpiece resistance during engagement
• Zinc aluminum alloy body with low carbon steel stop head for corrosion resistance and wear durability
• Mounting slot dimensions of 0.69 inches length by 0.257 inches width allow precise positional adjustment on tooling plates
• 1-1/2-inch stop head width and height offer broad contact area for positive workpiece location

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard tooling plates and machining fixtures requiring a tangless square spring locating stop with a 2-inch body width and 1-1/2-inch mounting hole center distance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by tool and die makers or fixture builders using standard hand tools and drill press equipment. Power down and de-energize any automated fixture or clamping system before installing or servicing this component. Mounting fasteners should be seated into the provided slots and torqued according to the fastener manufacturer and fixture design specifications, not to values specific to this stop. Follow applicable shop safety and fixture design standards during installation.
