It features a 5-40 thread size, a steel body, and a steel ball measuring 0.062 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.25 inches, making it one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded devices in its class. Initial end force is 0.25 pounds and final end force is 0.75 pounds, providing a predictable and repeatable force range. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position after installation. This part is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and precision equipment technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B47P is suited for applications requiring controlled detent or positioning force in tight or miniaturized assemblies. Its compact size makes it appropriate for use in instruments, fixtures, jigs, and light-duty mechanical components where space constraints and precise force control are critical. The locking element allows for field adjustment and secure retention once the desired position is set. This plunger is commonly found in both industrial and OEM manufacturing environments where repeatable tactile feedback or indexed positioning is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-40 thread size for installation in small-format tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel ball for durability in mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.062 inch ball diameter with 0.02 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.25 pounds and final end force of 0.75 pounds for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element included for secure positioning after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.25 inch body length  -  among the smallest spring-loaded plunger designs available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in precision mechanical assemblies requiring a 5-40 threaded ball plunger with controlled spring end force.

Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and correctly sized before threading in the plunger. De-energize or fully unload any assembly under tension or pressure before servicing adjacent components. Use the locking element to fix the plunger at the desired extension once the correct end force is confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\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: VLIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: B47P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51997159915826,"sku":"B47P","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/256d8e07d1d69d77be16c5943efa2077.jpg?v=1789993922","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-b47p-threaded-ball-plunger-5-40-0-062-in-ball","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
