Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel ball, this spring-loaded device delivers consistent, repeatable positioning force in a compact form factor. The 10-32 thread makes it straightforward to install into tapped holes on assemblies, fixtures, and mechanisms. It produces an initial end force of 1.5 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, giving technicians a predictable force range for detent, indexing, and alignment tasks. The 0.094-inch ball diameter and 0.513-inch body length make this one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded plungers available in this thread class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSB52 is suited for light-duty controlled end-force applications in precision assemblies, tooling fixtures, jigs, and mechanical positioning systems. Its compact body fits in space-restricted installations where standard or heavy-duty plungers are too large. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments requiring corrosion resistance, including food processing, laboratory, and marine-adjacent applications. The maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches limits protrusion, making it effective for shallow-engagement detent points. No locking element is included, allowing the plunger to thread directly into a prepared hole without secondary locking hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5-pound initial end force and 3-pound final end force for controlled, repeatable positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.094-inch ball diameter with 0.025-inch maximum ball reach for shallow-engagement detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.513-inch body length  -  one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded plunger designs in this class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor-coded purple for quick field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install spring-loaded ball plunger for any assembly or fixture with a 10-32 tapped hole requiring controlled end-force positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the SSB52 into a prepared 10-32 tapped hole using standard hand tools. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and properly tapped to full depth before installation. Because no locking element is included, a thread-locking compound may be applied if vibration or back-out is a concern in the application. Disconnect or de-energize any related automated or powered mechanism before installing or servicing spring-loaded plungers in active assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\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: 0.513 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: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\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: SSB52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52056400888114,"sku":"SSB52","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dbd492b305f71bbe377e0bca4ee619f.jpg?v=1790038211","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssb52-threaded-ball-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
