Jergens 27323 Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32 Steel

Product Description

The JERGENS 27323 is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 10-32 thread size with a 3/4 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. It delivers an initial end force of 1.3 pounds and a final end force of 2.7 pounds, making it suitable for repeatable detent and locating tasks. The steel body and steel nose provide durability in demanding shop environments, and the integrated locking element helps secure the plunger position against vibration or inadvertent movement. A black finish completes the unit.

This spring plunger is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, assembly tooling, and general manufacturing equipment where a compact, threaded positioning device is required. The standard plunger length configuration and 1/8 inch projection suit applications where minimal protrusion is needed while still providing reliable spring-loaded engagement. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assemblers commonly install this type of plunger in tapped bores on fixture plates and tooling blocks.

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any tapped 10-32 bore where a spring-loaded detent or positioning element with a locking feature is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using a 3/32 inch hex key. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fixtures or tooling that contain spring plungers. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the locking element or distort the plunger body.
