The body and nose are both constructed from stainless steel, making this plunger well suited for corrosive or cleanroom environments where carbon steel components are not acceptable. The 6-32 thread allows installation directly into tapped holes in metal or plastic assemblies. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds, middle end force is 3.0 pounds, and final end force is 4.5 pounds, giving designers a predictable spring-force progression across the full plunger travel. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plunger is used in light mechanical positioning and detent applications across industrial, tooling, and instrumentation assemblies. The 6-32 thread size and 17\/32-inch body length make it appropriate for compact assemblies where space is constrained. The 1\/16-inch projection provides a short, controlled nose travel suitable for repeatable part registration or light locking action. It is typically installed in pre-tapped bores in fixtures, jigs, machine components, and enclosures where a low-profile spring-loaded detent is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 thread for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard plunger length type with 17\/32-inch body and thread length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/16-inch plunger projection for short, controlled detent travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring force range of 1.5 to 4.5 pounds end force for light-duty positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo locking element, allowing straightforward installation and removal by hand or hex key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style threaded spring plunger for use in any mechanical assembly with a 6-32 tapped bore requiring a stainless steel spring-loaded detent or positioning element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 6-32 bore using a hex key sized for the 0.050-inch hex drive. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing the assembly. Do not overtighten, as the small thread size is susceptible to cross-threading and galling in aluminum or plastic bores. Confirm bore depth accommodates the full 17\/32-inch body length before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0440 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0450 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0500 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\u003eMiddle End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 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\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: SSPH48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974232375602,"sku":"SSPH48","price":15.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6ffe0e870bd4ef2be590539fc196a090_4ae38c20-5370-4352-92c0-e520a2fdfad5.jpg?v=1789976481","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssph48-threaded-spring-plunger-6-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
