PATIKIL Spring Plunger M16x2 Retractable Index for Industrial Use

Description

Product Overview

The PATIKIL Spring Plunger with Knurled Handle is engineered for high‑precision positioning in a wide range of industrial settings. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the plunger offers exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and a long service life, making it suitable for demanding environments where reliability is paramount. The M16x2 thread size provides a coarse thread index that enables quick and secure insertion and removal of the pin, while the spring‑return mechanism ensures the pin retracts smoothly after each operation. With a compact footprint of 1.1 x 1.1 x 2.01 inches and a lightweight design of just 5.64 ounces, the plunger integrates seamlessly into tight spaces without compromising performance. The knurled handle delivers a firm grip, allowing operators to apply consistent force without slipping, which is essential for accurate alignment of components in machinery, fixtures, and assemblies.

Usage

This spring plunger is versatile enough to serve in numerous applications. In chassis construction, it provides a reliable method for securing panels and ensuring proper alignment during assembly. Electrical cabinets benefit from the plunger’s ability to lock components in place while allowing easy access for maintenance. Automotive manufacturers use the device to position and secure parts during both prototype development and production runs, taking advantage of its quick‑acting spring return for efficient workflow. Precision instruments such as jigs and fixtures rely on the plunger’s repeatable positioning to maintain tolerances across multiple cycles. The robust stainless‑steel construction also makes it suitable for harsh environments, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, without degradation of performance.
