It features a 5\/16-18 thread with a 5\/8 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.135 inches. The nose and body are both steel with a black finish, and the unit includes a locking element to secure the plunger in the threaded bore after installation. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds, and final end force is 10 pounds, making it suitable for applications requiring a firm, audible detent feel. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers install this type of component in jigs, fixtures, and production tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in industrial and manufacturing environments where repeatable positioning or light retention is required. Typical applications include fixture stops, drawer detents, panel locators, and tooling plates. The 3\/16 inch plunger projection allows for positive engagement without excessive travel. The short body profile suits installations where axial space behind the mounting surface is limited. It is installed by threading directly into a tapped hole in the host component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size with 5\/8 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.135 inches with 3\/16 inch projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 10 pound final end force for firm detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose construction with black finish for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element locks plunger position in the bore after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort plunger length type suits space-constrained fixture and tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any application requiring a 5\/16-18 tapped hole and a short-body plunger with a 5\/8 inch thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 5\/16-18 hole using an appropriate hex key or spanner tool. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of chips before threading in the component. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is set to the desired depth to prevent back-out under vibration. Do not over-torque the body, as this can damage the locking element or deform the bore thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.135 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: JERGENS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JERGENS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51962795622706,"sku":"26705","price":15.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9662d1897c2a658b3a0757c391695667.jpg?v=1789947929","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/jergens-26705-threaded-spring-plunger-5-16-18-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
