It features a 3\/8-16 thread with a 1-1\/8 inch thread length and a steel body with a zinc finish. The plunger delivers 2.8 pounds of initial end force and 7.2 pounds of final end force, making it suited for applications requiring repeatable, spring-loaded resistance. A locking element is incorporated into the body, allowing the plunger to be locked in position after installation without the need for additional hardware. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in workholding fixtures, jigs, die sets, and general industrial machinery where a recessed, threadable positioning element is required. It fits into a standard 3\/8-16 tapped hole and is appropriate for light-duty detent and positioning tasks in both production and maintenance environments. The compact plunger diameter of 0.186 inches and short projection of 0.187 inches make it well suited for low-clearance fixture designs. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread with 1-1\/8 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel nose and steel body with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element allows the plunger to be secured in position after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.8 pounds initial end force and 7.2 pounds final end force for light detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.186 inches and projection of 0.187 inches for tight-clearance designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal hex drive (0.125 inches) for installation and adjustment with a hex key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style drop-in fit for any application requiring a standard 3\/8-16 threaded spring plunger with a 1-1\/8 inch body length and locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 3\/8-16 through or blind hole. Use the 0.125 inch internal hex drive to thread the plunger in by hand or with a hex key to the desired depth. Engage the locking element to fix the plunger position before placing the assembly into service. Ensure the mating bore or detent recess is sized appropriately for the 0.186 inch plunger diameter to prevent binding or premature wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.186 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.187 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\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: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TE-CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52207\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TE-CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911997751602,"sku":"52207","price":61.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c37b5ae96f8732078469dd8685877acb_9c4c5660-efcc-43dd-bbb2-62d1be8f604a.jpg?v=1791224514","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/te-co-52207-threaded-spring-plunger-3-8-16-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
