Vlier FRT625P Locking T-handle Plunger 5/8-11 Steel

Product Description

The VLIER FRT625P is a locking T-handle plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger body is steel construction, measuring 2.5 inches in body length with a 3/8-inch (0.375 inches) plunger diameter and a 5/8-inch (0.625 inches) plunger projection. The 5/8-11 threaded body installs directly into tapped holes in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine components. The integrated locking element holds the plunger in the retracted position, keeping it out of the way when needed. Initial end force is 2.5 pounds, with a final end force of 5 pounds. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machine builders, and maintenance mechanics.

The FRT625P is suited for use in light-duty industrial positioning applications where a manually operated, lockable plunger is required. Common applications include tooling fixtures, machine guarding panels, access doors, and indexing plates in manufacturing environments. The T-handle provides a positive grip for manual operation without tools. The locking feature is particularly useful in applications where the plunger must remain retracted during loading or unloading of workpieces. This plunger is intended for use in assemblies where the 5/8-11 thread size is the specified standard.

Key Features

• Locking element holds plunger in retracted position for hands-free operation
• 5/8-11 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial environments
• T-handle design allows manual operation without additional tools
• 2.5 pound initial end force and 5 pound final end force for consistent positioning
• Compact 2.5-inch body length suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation plunger for industrial fixtures and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded locking T-handle plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the 5/8-11 body into a pre-tapped hole in the fixture or assembly. Ensure the mating thread in the receiving component is clean and free of debris before installation. Lock out and tag out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that incorporate this plunger. Do not exceed the rated end force when applying manual load to the plunger tip.
