I wanting to order some camlocks for my cowling and the one's I need say 5W
and others say 6W. Does this designation tell me what I need? Aricraft
Spruce does have camlocks listed with this designation along with a few
other numbers.

The 5W and 6W indicate the length (the numbers) and the W means that it
is a winged camloc. The different lengths are needed to go through
differing thicknesses of cowling, mounting tabs, etc. These numbers
(and the letter) are the"dash numbers" that must be added to the part
number of the camloc, such as the 2600 series the 2700 series, etc. If
the camloc is rather tight and hard to insert, go to the next larger
number. Each dash number increases the length by about .030"
or 1/32".

The "5W" and "6W" as you would suspect designate the size. There is a helpful page in the Aircraft Spruce catalog that tells you how to decode the meaning.

I will tell you that 'grip length' will be important to you. Sometimes, I'll order one, and it'll either be too short or too long - which is the grip length. Often, I will order several of the sizes and pick which ones fit the best for whatever I'm working on.

Check out the Aircraft Spruce catalog - it'll help a lot.

Mike,
Here is a link to a page in the Spruce catalog with a description of cam
locks. The way I read it in the 2600 and 2700 series, 5 has a grip
length of .150 to .179 in. and 6 is .180 to .209 in. W is "wing" type.

These correspond to the -5 and -6 lengths. You'll have to eyeball the type
based on the pictures in the ACS catalog.
