It features an 8-36 thread size with a body and thread length of 0.437 inches, a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches, and a plunger projection of 0.052 inches. Both the body and nose are constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds, with a final end force of 4.75 pounds. This plunger is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, or mechanical assemblers in precision equipment, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies requiring reliable spring-loaded positioning or detent action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSM50 is suited for use in compact mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment where space constraints prevent the use of standard-length spring plungers. Its stubby body profile makes it an appropriate choice for shallow-threaded bores or confined housings. The high end force rating relative to its small size makes it effective in positioning, indexing, and detent applications across light industrial and precision manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby plunger length type for use in restricted-space applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-36 thread size with 0.437 inches thread and body length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 pounds initial end force and 4.75 pounds final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.052 inches plunger projection with 0.07 inches maximum plunger diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element, allowing straightforward threaded installation and adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded spring plunger for precision fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring an 8-36 threaded bore with a stubby body profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools appropriate for small threaded fasteners. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and correctly tapped to 8-36 specifications before installation. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the small-diameter threads or restrict plunger travel. Confirm plunger projection and end force requirements are met after installation before placing the assembly into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.437 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.437 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.052 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 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: 4.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: High End Force, Restricted Space\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: SSM50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52101717786930,"sku":"SSM50","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/db9dc064fbc866102d7f53c3f8f376a6_a4f43a39-0b8a-4486-839f-4b43734ad31f.jpg?v=1790069955","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssm50-threaded-spring-plunger-8-36-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
