The aluminum body measures 0.875 inches wide by 0.688 inches long with a 0.125-inch stroke length. The stop head is 0.625 inches wide by 0.625 inches tall with a thickness of 0.1875 inches. The tangless design eliminates the protruding tang found on standard spring stops, reducing the risk of snagging or interference in tight fixture layouts. This part is installed by tool and die makers, fixture builders, and precision machinists working on jigs, fixtures, and assembly tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SS88B is suited for use in light-to-medium duty locating applications where a compact, low-profile stop is required. Its spring-loaded head delivers a progressive force range, starting at 5.13 pounds initial end force, building to 10 pounds at mid-stroke, and reaching 14.9 pounds final end force at full compression. This force progression makes it well matched to applications that require controlled resistance during part loading and seating in machined fixtures or assembly nests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTangless square profile eliminates interference common with tang-style stops in close-tolerance fixture layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive spring force: 5.13 lb initial, 10 lb mid, 14.9 lb final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body: 0.875 inches wide by 0.688 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125-inch stroke length for controlled, short-travel actuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting slot dimensions of 0.125 inches long by 0.136 inches wide for secure panel or plate mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum body construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locating stop for precision jigs, fixtures, and assembly tooling requiring a tangless square spring stop with 0.875-inch body width and 0.688-inch body length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by tool and die makers or fixture technicians using standard machining and fitting tools. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before seating the stop, and confirm the mounting slot dimensions match the mating hardware. Depower or depressurize any associated fixture or automated system before servicing or replacing locating stops. Do not exceed the rated stroke length during installation, as overcompression can permanently damage the spring mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.688 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStop Head Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStop Head Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStop Head Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance Between Mount Hole Centers\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.656 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance Between Mount Hole and Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.656 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Slot Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Slot Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.136 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tangless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\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: SS88B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974281167154,"sku":"SS88B","price":16.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c68cfe9cd92b90b6f41f92b19cf4ae0a.jpg?v=1789976740","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ss88b-tangless-square-spring-locating-stop","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
