Featuring an M6 x 1.00 thread and a steel body with a steel nose, this standard-length plunger delivers an initial end force of 4.05 pounds and a final end force of 11.24 pounds. The 0.106-inch maximum plunger diameter and 0.098-inch projection keep the installed profile compact. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place after installation, preventing loosening under vibration or repeated cycling. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians install this type of component when a controlled, spring-loaded detent or stop point is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine frames, and precision mechanical assemblies where a threaded M6 x 1.00 hole is available. The standard 0.787-inch thread length accommodates typical boss depths in steel and aluminum components. Applications include production tooling, indexing mechanisms, and panel assembly fixtures across industrial and manufacturing environments. The locking element feature is especially useful in high-vibration settings where a standard plunger without locking could back out over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 x 1.00 thread with 0.787-inch thread length for standard metric tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose for durability in industrial tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.05-pound initial end force and 11.24-pound final end force for controlled detent resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.106 inches with 0.098-inch projection for a low-profile footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents backing out under vibration or repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or new installation for mechanical assemblies requiring a standard M6 x 1.00 threaded spring plunger with a locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex wrench or spanner tool sized for the M6 plunger body. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and to tolerance before threading in the plunger. The locking element should be engaged fully per the assembly specification to prevent loosening. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6 x 1.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.787 inches (20.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 inches (2.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.106 inches (2.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.787 inches (19.99 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.05 pounds (18.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.24 pounds (50.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: SM6AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908156850482,"sku":"SM6AP","price":17.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/30cd00ede3ed0899aa62edda1da92ab2_00d2f7ff-a731-4be6-a13f-1324b6bb8b67.jpg?v=1791182663","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sm6ap-threaded-spring-plunger-m6-x-1-steel-locking","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
