Threaded at 3\/8-16 with a thread length of 1.2 inches, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 2 pounds and a final end force of 4 pounds. The locking pull ring mechanism allows the plunger to be retracted and held in the down position, preventing unintended engagement during loading or indexing operations. Machined from stainless steel, the SPR375 is suited for environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical durability are required. Maintenance technicians and precision assembly specialists install this type of component in jigs, fixtures, and automated equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPR375 is used in positioning fixtures, tooling plates, indexing mechanisms, and assembly jigs across light manufacturing, precision machining, and industrial automation applications. Its locking pull ring feature makes it well suited for situations where the plunger must be held retracted while a workpiece is loaded, then released to engage a detent or registration hole. Both OEM equipment builders and MRO technicians specify this style of plunger for new builds and direct replacements in existing fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking pull ring retracts and holds the plunger out of engagement for hands-free part loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread provides standard fitment into tapped holes in steel and aluminum tooling plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 2 pounds, final end force of 4 pounds for consistent, controlled retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlunger diameter of 0.233 inches with a projection of 0.375 inches for reliable detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear in production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact head height of 0.48 inches suits low-profile fixture designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit spring plunger for applications requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded body with a locking pull ring and stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a tapped 3\/8-16 hole to the appropriate depth to accommodate the 1.2-inch thread length. Power down or de-energize any actuated or automated fixture before servicing spring plungers. Use a suitable wrench on the plunger head to achieve proper seating  -  do not over-torque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling. Verify plunger projection and end force are compatible with the detent geometry before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Pull Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.233 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\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: SPR375\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972030759218,"sku":"SPR375","price":33.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0790edd6ccf238efa7613781a1a89c77.jpg?v=1789961476","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-spr375-locking-pull-ring-plunger-3-8-16-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
