Vlier M62 Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11 7-50 Lb

Product Description

The VLIER M62 is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for high end force applications where installation space is restricted. Machined from steel throughout, this plunger uses a 5/8-11 thread and delivers an initial end force of 7 pounds, ramping up to a final end force of 50 pounds at full compression. The body and nose are both steel construction, providing durability in demanding industrial and mechanical positioning applications. The plunger diameter is 0.31 inches and the body length is 1.062 inches, making it suited for tight clearance installations where a standard-length plunger would not fit. Installation is performed by threading the plunger directly into a tapped hole.

The M62 is used in mechanical assemblies requiring positive positioning, indexing, or detent action in confined spaces. The stubby profile makes it particularly suitable for fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine components where longitudinal space is at a premium. The 50-pound final end force rating supports applications that demand firm, reliable locking or positioning under load. This plunger is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals working with precision fixtures and production machinery.

Key Features

• Stubby plunger length type for use in restricted-space installations
• 5/8-11 thread with 1.062-inch thread length for straightforward installation into standard tapped holes
• 7 lb initial end force and 50 lb final end force for firm, reliable positioning
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in industrial environments
• No locking element, allowing removal and adjustment without special tools
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inches and projection of 0.215 inches

Compatibility

Designed for use in high end force, restricted-space applications requiring a 5/8-11 threaded spring plunger with a stubby profile. Suitable for fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical positioning assemblies that accept a 5/8-11 tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 5/8-11 hole in the mating component. Thread the plunger in using standard hex or spanner tools as appropriate for the body style. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. No special torque procedure is specified; install to a firm seat appropriate for the assembly design.
