Featuring a 1\/2-13 thread size with a 1-1\/4 inch thread length, this standard-length plunger delivers an initial end force of 6.6 pounds and a final end force of 17.4 pounds. The steel body provides durability in demanding environments, while the phenolic nose resists wear and reduces marring on mating surfaces. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed, preventing back-out under vibration or repeated loading cycles. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically install this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NS60N suits applications requiring repeatable indexing, component registration, or spring-loaded retention in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine assemblies. With a plunger projection of 1\/4 inch and a plunger diameter ranging from 0.246 to 0.248 inches, it fits tapped holes where controlled engagement force and accurate plunger travel are required. This plunger is appropriate for both light-production tooling and maintenance repair applications where a positive-locking threaded spring plunger is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 thread size with 1-1\/4 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 6.6 pounds and final end force of 17.4 pounds for controlled engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for strength and resistance to wear in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhenolic nose material reduces surface marring on mating components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element prevents back-out under vibration or cyclic loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch plunger projection with plunger diameter of 0.246 to 0.248 inches\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 applications requiring a 1\/2-13 threaded body with standard plunger length and locking element retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the NS60N into a properly tapped 1\/2-13 hole using a hex key or appropriate installation tool applied to the body. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element engages the thread flanks during installation to resist loosening  -  do not use thread-locking adhesives unless specified by the assembly engineer, as removal may become difficult. De-energize or lock out any machine or fixture before servicing or replacing spring plungers in automated equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.246 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.4 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: Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: NS60N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072165179698,"sku":"NS60N","price":17.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b7f39b487e35d05a021c00c7f4e9704a_69d11344-c784-41e9-91bb-7be7de1ef71f.jpg?v=1790049563","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ns60n-threaded-spring-plunger-1-2-13-steel-locking","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
