This spring-loaded device features a 10-32 thread size, a stainless steel body, and a stainless steel ball with a diameter of 0.094 inches. The body length measures 0.513 inches, and the maximum ball reach is 0.025 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds, with a final end force of 1.5 pounds. It is one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded devices in its class, making it well suited for precision positioning, indexing, and detent applications in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSBL52 is used in controlled end-force applications across industrial, mechanical, and electronic assembly environments. Its 10-32 threaded body allows direct installation into tapped holes without additional hardware. The compact body length and low end-force range make it appropriate for light-duty detent, alignment, and positioning tasks where minimal deflection force is required. No locking element is present, which simplifies installation and removal in assemblies where the plunger may need to be serviced or swapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread size 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\u003e0.094 inch ball diameter with 0.025 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 lb initial end force and 1.5 lb final end force for controlled, repeatable detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.513 inch body length  -  one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded plunger designs available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo locking element for straightforward installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-thread replacement or new-installation ball plunger for applications requiring controlled end force with a 10-32 threaded body in stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the SSBL52 into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using an appropriate driver or wrench on the body hex, if present. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this plunger. Avoid over-torquing, which can distort the body or damage the spring mechanism. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient to fully seat the body without restricting ball travel.\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: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 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: SSBL52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67646621778226,"sku":"SSBL52","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4ed37d73408c5e4f3ef3adb32ee6e686.jpg?v=1790459228","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssbl52-threaded-ball-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
