The body and nose are both stainless steel, making this plunger well-suited for corrosive or washdown environments. It features a 10-32 thread with a 3\/4 inch thread length and a 1\/8 inch plunger projection. Initial end force is 2.9 pounds, middle end force is 7.0 pounds, and final end force is 11.1 pounds, giving installers a known, consistent force curve across the full travel range. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SSPH52 fits applications where a spring-loaded nose must locate, index, or retain a moving component such as a sliding panel, fixture plate, or rotating dial. The 10-32 threaded body installs directly into a tapped hole in metal or plastic substrates. The standard plunger length configuration and compact 3\/4 inch body length make it appropriate for shallow-depth housings and tight assemblies where a full-length plunger is not required. No locking element is included, so the plunger can be adjusted or removed with standard hex tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10-32 thread size with 3\/4 inch thread length for direct installation into tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch plunger projection with a known force curve: 2.9 lb initial, 7.0 lb middle, 11.1 lb final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo locking element allows for straightforward installation and removal using hex tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum plunger diameter of 0.091 inches and maximum of 0.092 inches for consistent nose fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard plunger length type suits shallow housings and compact mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in tapped 10-32 holes in metal or plastic assemblies requiring spring-loaded indexing, positioning, or retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using a hex key sized to the 0.063 inch hex flat. Confirm the mating bore or detent geometry matches the 0.091 to 0.092 inch nose diameter before installation. Ensure the assembly is de-energized and clear of moving parts before installing or adjusting plungers in live tooling or automated fixtures. Do not overtighten the body, as this can compress the spring beyond its rated travel and reduce end force accuracy.\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: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.091 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.092 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.063 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.0 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.1 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: SSPH52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057880133938,"sku":"SSPH52","price":16.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/373aa16c44ef53f9f15e6d14381d7923.jpg?v=1790039243","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-ssph52-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
