It features a Delrin knob and an integrated locking element that holds the plunger in the retracted position until manually released. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.11 pounds and a final end force of 0.34 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty indexing, positioning, and retention applications in mechanical assemblies. The body measures 0.63 inches in length with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.118 inches. This type of spring plunger is typically installed by mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and precision positioning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPRTL6P is used in applications where repeatable positioning or panel retention is required and where the operator needs to lock the plunger in the disengaged position before making adjustments. Common install scenarios include machine tool fixtures, enclosure latching, and assembly line positioning jigs. The Delrin knob provides a non-marring, lightweight handle that is easy to operate by hand without tools. This plunger is suited for both light industrial and instrumentation environments where low actuation force and manual locking are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element holds plunger retracted until manually released\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin knob provides lightweight, non-marring manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM6x1.0 thread with 13mm thread length for standard metric mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow end force range: 0.11 pounds initial to 0.34 pounds final\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.63 inches for space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.118 inches for fine-pitch indexing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and enclosures requiring an M6x1.0 threaded locking knob plunger with light end force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a mechanical technician or assembler. Disengage or power down any moving equipment before installing or replacing spring plungers in active fixtures. Thread the plunger into a pre-tapped M6x1.0 hole and tighten to the assembly specification using the 0.236-inch hex on the body. Avoid over-torquing the Delrin knob or plunger body, as plastic components can crack under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6x1.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds (0.50 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 pounds (1.50 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches (3.00mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches (3.00mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches (24.89mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.63 inches (16.00mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\/Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 inches (12.70mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches (12.19mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead and Shoulder Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches (12.19mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.236 inches (5.99mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VLIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPRTL6P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52102793920818,"sku":"MPRTL6P","price":53.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/92babc60882fe14aea7a1322b6a9e3e6_a8ce0181-4f69-4aee-9d54-534992549d31.jpg?v=1790070771","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-mprtl6p-locking-knob-plunger-m6x1-0-13mm-thread","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
