Featuring an 8-32 thread size, a 0.094-inch stainless steel ball diameter, and a body length of 0.344 inches, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 1.25 pounds. The stainless steel body and ball construction provide corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. It is among the smallest and lightest spring-loaded positioning devices available in this thread class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSB50A is suited for light-duty positioning, detent, and indexing tasks in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and precision equipment. Its 8-32 thread allows direct installation into tapped holes in panels, jigs, enclosures, and machine components. The controlled end-force range makes it appropriate for applications where consistent, repeatable ball engagement is required without damaging mating surfaces. This plunger is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers in industrial and OEM manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 thread size for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.094-inch stainless steel ball for corrosion-resistant, precise detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.344-inch body length for use in space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.025-inch maximum ball reach for controlled, minimal displacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.5 pounds and final end force of 1.25 pounds for consistent positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight design identified by purple color code for easy field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded ball plunger for use in fixtures, mechanical assemblies, and precision equipment requiring an 8-32 threaded spring-loaded positioning device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall into a clean, properly tapped 8-32 hole using an appropriate hex key or driver. Ensure the mating hole depth and thread engagement are sufficient to fully seat the body before applying load. Avoid overtightening, which can distort the body and affect ball travel. No power shutoff is required; follow applicable facility or equipment lockout procedures if installing into powered machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 pounds\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: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\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: SSB50A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972426006834,"sku":"SSB50A","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/02a07553813d771923277e33a0df7e1f.jpg?v=1789968462","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssb50a-threaded-ball-plunger-8-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
