It features a stainless steel body and stainless steel ball, making it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is required. The M8 x 1.25 thread allows for direct installation into a tapped hole. The ball diameter measures 0.196 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.059 inches. Initial end force is 9 pounds and final end force is 13.49 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place after adjustment. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals typically install this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, machine tooling, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or tactile detent feedback is needed. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for cleanroom, food-grade-adjacent, or corrosion-prone environments. Its compact body length of 0.63 inches fits space-constrained assemblies. The color code for this variant is purple, which aids in field identification when multiple spring-force variants are in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM8 x 1.25 thread for direct installation into a standard tapped hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and stainless steel ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 pound initial end force and 13.49 pound final end force for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.059 inches for precise engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents plunger from backing out after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple color code for quick identification among multiple spring-force options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install threaded ball plunger for any application with an M8 x 1.25 tapped hole requiring spring-loaded ball detent or positioning functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall using a standard hex wrench or spanner appropriate for the M8 body. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. The locking element should be engaged after positioning to prevent loosening under vibration or repeated cycling. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8 x 1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.196 inches (5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.059 inches (1.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.00 pounds (40.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13.49 pounds (60.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\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: SBMH8N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994383548722,"sku":"SBMH8N","price":16.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/57a6b5640403c6a15895039345b48bc1.jpg?v=1789991879","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sbmh8n-threaded-ball-plunger-m8-x-1-25-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
