It features a 10-32 threaded body measuring 0.513 inches in length, with a 0.094-inch nylon ball that provides a maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches. The stainless steel body offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds, with a final end force of 1.5 pounds, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled, repeatable positioning without excessive actuation force. Typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, tooling, and precision equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in industrial machinery, jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies where a spring-loaded detent or positioning function is required. The 10-32 thread size allows installation into standard tapped holes in metal or plastic housings. The nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating components, making it appropriate for use against softer or finished surfaces. The purple color code aids in quick identification during assembly and maintenance workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball reduces surface marring on mating components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.094-inch ball diameter with 0.025-inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 1.5 pound final end force for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurple color code for fast field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded ball plunger for use in standard 10-32 tapped holes in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and tooling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the DSSBL52 into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using an appropriate driver or wrench; do not overtighten, as the stainless steel body can gall if excessive torque is applied without thread lubricant. Ensure the mating surface and bore are free of debris before installation to avoid interference with ball travel. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing or replacing plungers in powered equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.513 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless 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: No\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: DSSBL52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51992689705266,"sku":"DSSBL52","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/67dfe89bbb792add189fa864988f3aa6.jpg?v=1789990546","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-dssbl52-threaded-ball-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
