It uses an M6x1.0 thread with a 0.512 inches thread length and delivers an initial end force of 1 pound, ramping to a final end force of 4 pounds. The knurled knob head allows for manual adjustment without tools, making it well-suited for fixtures, jigs, and assemblies where the plunger position needs to be set and reset by hand. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers install this type of component in production tooling, machine guarding, and panel assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSLM6 fits into any threaded bore or housing machined to accept an M6x1.0 thread. Its compact body length of 0.630 inches keeps the installed footprint small, making it appropriate for tight-clearance assemblies. The non-locking design allows the plunger to retract freely under load, which is the correct choice for spring-return or soft-stop indexing scenarios. Typical applications include light manufacturing equipment, inspection fixtures, panel latches, and mechanical stops where repeatable low-force positioning is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-locking plunger retracts freely under applied load for spring-return detent function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurled knob head allows hand adjustment without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6x1.0 thread with 0.512 inches thread engagement length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd force range: 1 pound initial to 4 pounds final\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.118 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.630 inches body length for tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for any assembly using an M6x1.0 threaded spring plunger with a knob-style handle in a non-locking configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped M6x1.0 threaded bore in the mating component. Thread engagement should match the 0.512 inches length under head to ensure the plunger seats flush and operates correctly. Confirm the bore depth accommodates the full plunger projection of 0.118 inches before assembly. Do not overtighten the knob body, as this can bind the plunger mechanism and reduce spring travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 0.512 inches (13.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.630 inches (16.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\/Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.512 inches (13.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.827 inches (21.01 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.118 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.512 inches (13.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.197 inches (5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead and Shoulder Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.315 inches (8.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound (4.45 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds (17.80 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knurled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: SSLM6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52018036638002,"sku":"SSLM6","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf16ebb7eaaeca7d38bb64c70f9181d6_98037332-fb65-4754-85e7-36df2b8c862d.jpg?v=1790009841","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sslm6-knob-handle-spring-plunger-m6x1-0","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
