Te-co 52001 Threaded Spring Plunger 6-32 Steel Body

Product Description

The TE-CO 52001 is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in industrial and precision tooling environments. It features a 6-32 thread size with a 17/32-inch thread length and a steel body with a black finish. The plunger nose diameter measures 0.046 inches with a projection of 0.062 inches. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 4.5 pounds. A locking element is incorporated into the design to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers.

The 52001 is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or light detent action is required. The compact 6-32 thread size makes it appropriate for small-footprint applications where space is limited. The steel construction and black finish offer corrosion resistance suitable for light industrial environments. Standard plunger length type applies.

Designed as a standard 6-32 threaded spring plunger for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring a steel-body plunger with locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using appropriate hex tooling sized to the 0.035-inch hex. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to 6-32 specification before installation. Avoid over-torquing, which can deform the small-diameter threads or damage the locking element. Confirm plunger movement is free and projection meets application requirements before placing the assembly into service.
