The body is machined from stainless steel and accepts a 1\/2-13 thread, making it suitable for installation into standard tapped holes. The plunger nose is Delrin, delivering smooth, low-friction contact against mating surfaces. Initial end force is 5 pounds and final end force is 28 pounds, giving the installer a predictable force range for consistent part retention. A locking element is included to secure the plunger body in the threaded bore once positioned, preventing rotation or back-out during operation. Licensed industrial maintenance technicians and precision machine builders are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, machine tool slides, automated assembly equipment, and similar industrial applications where repeatable positioning or soft detent action is needed. The stubby body profile fits constrained installation environments where standard-length plungers will not clear adjacent components. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in wash-down or mildly caustic environments. No specific OEM model compatibility is stated for this SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material provides smooth, low-friction plunger contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 thread size with 0.75 inches thread length for secure installation in standard tapped bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby body profile suits tight-clearance installation locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element prevents back-out and rotation once the plunger is set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 pounds initial force and 28 pounds final force for predictable detent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1\/2-13 threaded spring plunger with a stubby body profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or machine builders using a hex key or spanner wrench suited to the locking element. De-energize or lock out any machine before installing or servicing spring plungers in moving assemblies. Thread the plunger body into a properly tapped and cleaned bore, then tighten the locking element to secure the body position. Do not over-torque the locking element, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven without lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.151 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 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\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: SSMD60N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51995445985586,"sku":"SSMD60N","price":18.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d94eaa0fa6eed4c164468f7241be0ac5.jpg?v=1789992684","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssmd60n-threaded-spring-plunger-1-2-13-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
