Quickly align, join, or hold machine components in place in food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments. Pulling the plunger knob and twisting it 90° will lock the nose into its retracted position. All of these plungers have a long nose that offers a large bearing surface to handle side loads. They’re often used for maintenance jobs.

Made of stainless steel, these plungers won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. All are self-draining with rounded edges and polished surfaces, so there are no crevices for bacteria to grow, reducing the chance of a foodborne illness. Seals block out water and keep contaminants from getting trapped in threads or grooves. They’re also bright blue, so you can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. The seals are FDA compliant for direct contact with food, but the lubricant is rated for incidental contact.

Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.
