It features a 10-32 thread size with a body and thread length of 0.468 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger delivers 1.75 pounds of initial end force and 6.25 pounds of final end force, making it suited for applications that require a firm, repeatable detent action. The steel body provides durability, while the Delrin nose reduces friction and wear against mating surfaces. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in precision mechanical assemblies where controlled positioning or indexing is required. The stubby body profile fits confined spaces where standard-length plungers cannot be accommodated. Typical applications include jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine components, and light-duty detent mechanisms in industrial equipment. It is installed by machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assembly technicians working in manufacturing and fabrication environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread size with 0.468 inch thread and body length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStubby plunger profile for use in space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.75 lb initial end force and 6.25 lb final end force for reliable detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces wear on mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger position after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for threaded spring plunger applications using a 10-32 thread form in mechanical assemblies requiring a stubby-length plunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall using a standard hex key or appropriate driver into a pre-tapped 10-32 threaded hole. Disengage or de-energize any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing this plunger. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is threaded to the desired depth to prevent backing out under vibration. Avoid over-torquing, which can damage the thread form or compress the internal spring beyond its design range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.468 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.468 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.093 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.065 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: NM52P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52116055654706,"sku":"NM52P","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0db03d9aeb4b1ff8d4f66df85b05e023.jpg?v=1790080378","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-nm52p-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-steel-locking","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
