It features a 1\/2-13 thread size, a 0.281-inch nylon ball, and a zinc-plated steel body measuring 0.75 inches in body length. The nylon ball delivers a maximum reach of 0.072 inches, with an initial end force of 3 pounds and a final end force of 6 pounds. A locking element is incorporated into the design to secure the plunger in position after installation. This part is typically installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working with jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DBL60N is suited for use in light industrial and precision mechanical applications where repeatable positioning or controlled detent action is required. Typical install scenarios include fixture plates, tooling jigs, sliding assemblies, and panel components where a spring-loaded ball provides tactile or functional indexing. The nylon ball construction makes it appropriate for applications where marring of mating surfaces must be avoided. Its standard 1\/2-13 thread allows installation into tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or similar structural materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 thread size for installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon ball construction resists marring on mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element holds plunger position after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-pound initial end force and 6-pound final end force for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.072 inches for precise engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded ball plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1\/2-13 threaded plunger with a nylon ball and locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the DBL60N into a pre-tapped 1\/2-13 hole using an appropriate wrench or hex key, depending on the drive style of the plunger body. Ensure the mating assembly is de-energized or de-pressurized before installation in any powered or pressurized fixture. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the locking element or distort the plunger body. Consult applicable machinery safety standards when integrating into automated or high-cycle equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.281 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.072 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 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: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: DBL60N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972006641970,"sku":"DBL60N","price":17.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4be7ce29a549855720e005559b7ec5c8_f5c8be84-6b5f-4b8d-8355-7a4017a6eb60.jpg?v=1789960719","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-dbl60n-threaded-ball-plunger-1-2-13-steel-nylon-ball","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
