It features a 10-32 thread with a 0.468-inch thread length and a 0.093-inch maximum plunger diameter, making it suited for compact installations where space is limited. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance, while the Delrin nose reduces wear on mating surfaces. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in place after installation. This part is installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and mechanical assembly technicians working with precision fixtures, jigs, and indexing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSMD52P is used in applications requiring controlled spring force in a small footprint. The stubby plunger style fits installations with minimal clearance behind the threaded bore. With an initial end force of 1.75 pounds and a final end force of 6.25 pounds, it delivers a firm, consistent detent feel suited to light indexing, locking, and positioning tasks in industrial machinery, fixtures, and mechanical devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStubby plunger style for compact, space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread size with 0.468-inch thread and body length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces wear on contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element included to prevent plunger from backing out after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.75 pounds initial end force and 6.25 pounds final end force for consistent detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit spring plunger for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and indexing mechanisms requiring a 10-32 threaded bore and a stubby plunger profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex key or spanner tool appropriate for the 10-32 thread. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is threaded to the correct depth to prevent loosening under vibration. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the Delrin nose or distort the plunger body.\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\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 Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.065 inches\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\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\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\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: Yes\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: SSMD52P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67581758275890,"sku":"SSMD52P","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d45f0f48cf2832636a6a1d01797175b7.jpg?v=1790405386","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssmd52p-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
