It features a 10-32 thread size with a 0.468-inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger projects 0.065 inches and delivers an initial end force of 1.75 pounds and a final end force of 6.25 pounds. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in demanding environments, while the Delrin nose provides smooth, low-friction plunger action. Machinists, assemblers, and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision equipment enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSMD52 suits applications requiring repeatable positioning or light ball-detent-style retention in compact or space-constrained assemblies. Its stubby body profile makes it appropriate where thread engagement depth is limited. Typical install scenarios include tooling fixtures, instrument panels, enclosure latching, and light-duty indexing mechanisms in both industrial and commercial equipment. The 10-32 thread fits standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and plastic assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby plunger body at 0.468 inches overall length for compact installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 threaded body for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.75-pound initial end force and 6.25-pound final end force for light detent duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material for smooth, low-friction plunger travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element  -  allows field adjustment after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install spring plunger for mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and equipment requiring a 10-32 threaded spring plunger 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 a standard hex key or spanner tool sized for the plunger body. Thread the plunger into a clean, properly tapped 10-32 hole and torque only to finger-tight plus snug  -  do not overtighten, as the stainless body can gall in steel tapped holes. De-energize or lock out any assembly under load before servicing spring plungers in active fixtures or mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.468 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.468 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.093 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.065 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\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: SSMD52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52013579698482,"sku":"SSMD52","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b0f353685140974f39d34245c31970b7.jpg?v=1790006291","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssmd52-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
