Vlier SLM10 Knob Handle Spring Plunger M10x1.5

Product Description

The VLIER SLM10 is a knurled knob handle spring plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and light-duty holding applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features an M10x1.5 thread with a body length of 0.95 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.19 inches. The non-locking steel plunger delivers an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 8 pounds, providing controlled spring tension across the travel range. The zinc gold chromate finish provides corrosion resistance for use in standard shop and production environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of plunger in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and panel assemblies.

This spring plunger is suited for light-force positioning tasks where a hand-adjustable knob is preferred over a tool-driven installation. The knurled knob allows manual engagement and disengagement without additional tooling, making it practical for frequently accessed access panels, sliding mechanisms, and adjustable fixture stops. It fits standard M10x1.5 threaded holes commonly found in machine tool components and fabricated assemblies.

Key Features

• M10x1.5 thread size with 0.748 inch thread length for secure engagement in standard threaded holes
• Non-locking plunger type with 0.19 inch maximum diameter and 0.236 inch projection
• Spring force range of 1 pound initial to 8 pounds final end force for predictable positioning resistance
• Knurled knob handle allows tool-free manual adjustment and installation
• Steel construction with zinc gold chromate finish for corrosion resistance
• Compact body length of 0.95 inches suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for M10x1.5 threaded applications requiring a non-locking, knob-handle spring plunger in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a wrench on the knob body into a pre-tapped M10x1.5 threaded hole. Verify thread engagement depth against the 0.748 inch thread length before assembly to avoid bottoming out. Ensure the mating bore or channel is clean and free of debris to allow smooth plunger travel. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and de-energize or lock out any associated equipment before servicing fixtures or panels that use this plunger.
