The plunger features a stainless steel body with a nylon ball, providing corrosion resistance and low-friction contact suited for light-load positioning tasks. The 5\/8-11 thread allows secure installation into standard tapped bores. With an initial end force of 4.5 pounds and a final end force of 9 pounds, along with a locking element, this plunger delivers consistent, repeatable engagement across its 0.096-inch maximum ball reach. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware in fixtures, jigs, and automated equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DSSBL62N is suited for use in precision fixtures, assembly tooling, machine guarding, and component-positioning systems where a controlled detent force is required. Its nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating components, making it appropriate for applications involving sensitive or finished surfaces. The locking element feature helps resist loosening under vibration, which is common in production machinery and equipment subject to repeated cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 thread size for installation into standard tapped bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball contact for low-friction, non-marring positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element resists loosening under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 4.5 pounds with final end force of 9 pounds for consistent detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish for added surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-threaded replacement or new-install ball plunger for industrial fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5\/8-11 tapped bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 5\/8-11 bore using the appropriate wrench on the body hex. Ensure the bore is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent thread damage. Torque to the level specified by the assembly drawing or fixture documentation  -  do not over-torque, as this can damage the locking element or distort the body. Verify ball travel and detent force function correctly before returning the assembly to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.096 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 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\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\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: DSSBL62N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51969303380274,"sku":"DSSBL62N","price":23.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4be7ce29a549855720e005559b7ec5c8_4d654392-260e-4130-9a97-abcfc8f56567.jpg?v=1789952178","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-dssbl62n-threaded-ball-plunger-5-8-11","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
