Vlier FRTM6P Locking T Handle Plunger M6x1.0 Steel

Product Description

The VLIER FRTM6P is a locking T-handle plunger designed for industrial positioning, clamping, and indexing applications where a secure, repeatable hold is required. The plunger features an M6x1.0 thread with a 1.0-inch body length and a 0.16-inch plunger diameter. A built-in locking element keeps the plunger in the retracted position until intentionally released, preventing unintended engagement. The steel construction provides durability in demanding shop and machine environments. Initial end force is 1 pound and final end force is 2.5 pounds, making this unit suitable for light-duty locking and positioning tasks. Machinists, fixture builders, and maintenance technicians typically install and service this component.

The FRTM6P is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, panel assemblies, and industrial equipment where a manually operated locking plunger with a T-handle grip is needed. The 1.1-inch handle length allows for easy actuation in confined spaces. The 0.25-inch plunger projection and 0.8-inch thread engagement length make it appropriate for thin-panel or light-frame mounting applications. It is well suited for both OEM assembly lines and field maintenance situations where fast, tool-free plunger operation is required.

Installation Notes

This plunger is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, or maintenance technicians working on fixtures and industrial assemblies. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing or replacing plunger components. Thread engagement should be sufficient to prevent pull-through under load. Follow applicable machine guarding and lockout/tagout procedures per facility safety standards.
