Vlier SSLRM6 Locking Knob Plunger M6x1.0 0.4 in Thread

Product Description

The VLIER SSLRM6 is a locking knob handle plunger with a countersunk knob design, threaded at M6x1.0 with a 0.4-inch thread length. It delivers an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 4 pounds, making it suited for light-duty indexing, positioning, and locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger reaches a maximum diameter of 0.12 inches and projects 0.13 inches from the body. The body length is 10 millimeters. Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and equipment panels where repeatable positioning or manual locking is required.

The SSLRM6 is used in industrial and commercial equipment assemblies where a compact, threaded plunger provides manual positioning or detent locking. Common applications include machine tool fixtures, panel assemblies, enclosures, and precision jigs. The countersunk knob style allows for low-profile installation in tight-clearance environments. The M6x1.0 thread is a standard metric thread size widely used in fabricated steel and aluminum assemblies across manufacturing and maintenance trades.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for mechanical assemblies requiring a compact M6x1.0 threaded locking knob plunger in light-duty positioning or detent applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the SSLRM6 into a tapped M6x1.0 hole using a 3 mm hex key. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as this is a light-duty plunger assembly. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout and tagout procedures before servicing any assembly containing this component.
