Trapezoidal thread design. Use with metric leadscrew thread listed in separate category.
Material: KSM = Carbon Manganese Steel S300 Pb (11 SMn Pb37) / LRM = Bronze CuSn8P. Carbon Manganese steel can be welded but difficulties may arise with bubbling due to sulphur content. KSM: Manual control control only - low rotational speeds only - for clamping or locking functions - for receiving dead weights. LRM: Manual or powered control - low and medium rotational speeds - for working under load. For power transmission and continuous use always use bronze nuts not steel.

Spring loaded pull pins allow you to quickly retract and engage the plunger for locating, fastening and quick change operations.
Two part assembly includes a barrel and a plunger assembly. The plunger assembly screws into the housing. The housing is designed to be welded into place for strength. Pulling on the handle of the plunger assembly retracts the plunger into the housing. Releasing the handle allows the spring loaded plunger to extend. Handles are black plastic. Aluminium housing 6061-T6, Steel pin 12L15. Pull up force approx 2.2kg. Lockout style (indicated in tables) allows you to pull and rotate handle 1/4 turn to lock plunger in retracted position.
