It features an M5x0.8 threaded body with a 0.394-inch thread length and a knurled knob head for hand-adjustment without tools. The spring delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, making it suitable for applications that require repeatable, controlled engagement. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.0984 inches with a plunger projection of 0.078 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians typically install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSLM5 is suited for use in light industrial, tooling, and precision mechanical applications where hand-adjustable spring plungers are required. The knurled knob allows for finger-tight installation and adjustment in confined or tool-restricted locations. This plunger is commonly installed in machine fixtures, assembly jigs, alignment guides, and positioning mechanisms where a non-locking, low-force spring detent is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM5x0.8 thread with 0.394-inch thread length for standard metric tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-locking plunger design allows free retraction without thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurled knob head enables hand-adjustment and installation without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring force range of 0.5 pounds initial to 3 pounds final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.47 inches suits tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlunger diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.001 inches for consistent fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit spring plunger for standard M5x0.8 threaded mounting locations in mechanical fixtures, tooling plates, and precision assembly equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the SSLM5 into a pre-tapped M5x0.8 hole by hand using the knurled knob. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. No power tools are required; avoid over-torquing, which can damage the knob or distort the thread. Verify plunger movement is free and unobstructed after installation before placing the assembly into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5x0.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knurled\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: 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.394 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.47 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\/Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.394 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.355 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.157 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead and Shoulder Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.236 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: SSLM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52104762294578,"sku":"SSLM5","price":38.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf16ebb7eaaeca7d38bb64c70f9181d6_f2484966-3bba-492f-96df-ca30d9ef5359.jpg?v=1790072223","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sslm5-knob-handle-spring-plunger-m5x0-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
