The plunger is non-locking and operates with an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 6 pounds, giving technicians and assemblers a controlled, repeatable engagement feel. The body is steel with a zinc gold chromate finish for corrosion resistance. The 5\/16-18 thread size and 0.625-inch thread length allow installation into standard threaded housings without additional hardware. Maximum plunger diameter is 0.154 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger fits standard threaded bores in jigs, fixtures, machine components, and tooling plates where a knob-adjustable, hand-operated plunger is required. The knurled knob allows tool-free manual adjustment, making it suitable for production environments where frequent repositioning is needed. Body length is 0.76 inches, and the length under head or shoulder is 0.625 inches, keeping the installed profile compact. Plunger projection is 0.188 inches, providing positive ball or pin engagement without excessive protrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-locking plunger design with 1 lb initial end force and 6 lb final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled knob handle allows tool-free manual adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc gold chromate finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size for compatibility with standard threaded bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.76 inches with 0.188-inch plunger projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlunger diameter tolerance of +0.001 \/ -0.000 inches for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread spring plunger for use in threaded housings or tapped holes sized for 5\/16-18 inch fasteners in industrial fixtures, jigs, and positioning assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the SL312 into a properly tapped 5\/16-18 hole using the knurled knob. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of burrs before installation. Do not use power tools to drive the plunger, as over-torquing can damage the spring mechanism.
