It features a 10-32 thread size with a 0.468 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger projection is 0.065 inches, providing a low-profile nose engagement suited to tight-clearance applications. The steel body delivers durability in demanding production and tooling environments, while the Delrin nose reduces wear on mating surfaces. A locking element is included to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and assembly technicians typically install this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NM53P is used in applications where a compact, threaded spring plunger is needed to locate, retain, or index a moving component with controlled force. Initial end force is 0.75 pounds and final end force is 2.5 pounds, making it appropriate for light-load detent and positioning functions. Its stubby body length of 0.468 inches suits installations with limited axial depth, such as fixture plates, jigs, tooling blocks, and precision mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread with 0.468 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStubby plunger body at 0.468 inches total length fits shallow-depth applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.065 inch plunger projection provides low-profile nose engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces wear and drag on mating contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for strength and longevity in production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents loosening under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded spring plunger for standard 10-32 tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, tooling, and precision assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 10-32 hole with sufficient thread engagement to match the 0.468 inch thread length. Use appropriate thread-locking procedures if the locking element alone is insufficient for the application environment. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of burrs before installation to avoid damaging the Delrin nose. Consult applicable machinery safety procedures and de-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this plunger.\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: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 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: NM53P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52037575639346,"sku":"NM53P","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e54bd4a7a40bb2b3104c4bc4f11b53c8.jpg?v=1790024696","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-nm53p-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-steel-locking","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
