It features a 6-32 thread size with a 17\/32 inch thread length and a steel body with a steel nose. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 1.5 pounds and a final end force of 4.5 pounds, with a middle end force of 3.0 pounds. The minimum plunger diameter is 0.044 inches and the maximum is 0.045 inches, with a projection of 1\/16 inch. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in the threaded bore after installation. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PH48P is suited for use in light-load indexing applications, fixture alignment, and panel or drawer detent mechanisms across industrial, tooling, and precision assembly environments. Its compact 6-32 thread makes it appropriate for small-bore tapped holes in metal frames, jigs, and fixtures where consistent spring force and positive retention are required. The steel body and steel nose construction support use in typical shop and production settings where moderate wear resistance is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-32 thread size with 17\/32 inch thread length for secure installation in tapped bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose construction for durability in industrial applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 1.5 pounds and final end force of 4.5 pounds for consistent detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/16 inch plunger projection for low-profile positioning and indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element included to hold plunger position after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard plunger length type for common fitment in threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for assemblies requiring a 6-32 threaded spring plunger with standard projection and a steel body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the PH48P into a pre-tapped 6-32 bore using an appropriate hex driver sized to the 0.050 inch hex. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers. Use thread-locking compound or the integrated locking element as designed to prevent back-out under vibration. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the plunger mechanism or the surrounding bore threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.044 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.050 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 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: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: PH48P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52018708709682,"sku":"PH48P","price":15.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6ffe0e870bd4ef2be590539fc196a090_3689459f-220a-4348-901e-6631be2db709.jpg?v=1790010386","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ph48p-threaded-spring-plunger-6-32-steel-body","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
