Vlier SSLRM6P Locking Knob Handle Plunger M6x1.0

Product Description

The VLIER SSLRM6P is a locking knob handle plunger designed for precision indexing and positioning applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Built from stainless steel with a zinc gold chromate finish, this plunger features an M6x1.0 thread and a countersunk knob style. It delivers an initial end force of 1 pound (4.45 N) and a final end force of 4 pounds (17.79 N), making it suitable for light-duty locking and detent applications. The integrated locking element holds the plunger in the retracted position, reducing interference during part loading or repositioning. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly fixture builders typically install this type of component.

The SSLRM6P is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, workholding devices, and industrial equipment where repeatable positioning and manual locking are required. The M6x1.0 thread allows installation into standard metric-threaded bodies or housings. With a compact 10 mm body length and a 0.12 inch maximum plunger diameter, it fits into tight assemblies where space is limited. The countersunk knob profile keeps the head low-profile relative to surrounding surfaces, which is useful in applications where clearance is a concern.

Key Features

• Locking element holds plunger in retracted position for hands-free part loading
• Initial end force of 1 pound and final end force of 4 pounds for light-duty indexing
• M6x1.0 thread with 0.4 inch thread length for secure installation in metric-threaded housings
• Stainless steel construction with zinc gold chromate finish for corrosion resistance
• Countersunk knob style with 0.75 inch head diameter and 3 mm hex size for tool engagement
• Compact body length of 10 mm with a plunger projection of 0.13 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard M6x1.0 threaded locking plunger applications in industrial fixtures and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3 mm hex key to seat the plunger body into the threaded housing. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this plunger. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. Thread engagement should be confirmed against the 0.4 inch thread length to avoid bottoming out in blind holes.
