The body is machined from stainless steel with a Delrin nose, giving it corrosion resistance alongside a non-marring contact point. It carries an initial end force of 2.7 pounds and a final end force of 7.3 pounds, making it suited for applications that require consistent, repeatable spring tension. The 8-32 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers are the primary installers of this hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plunger fits into tapped 8-32 holes in fixtures, jigs, machine frames, and enclosures where a spring-loaded detent or positioning point is needed. The stainless steel body handles environments with exposure to moisture, coolants, or mild chemicals. Standard projection is 3\/32 inches, and thread length is 5\/8 inches. It is sold individually and used in both light industrial and precision instrument assembly contexts where controlled engagement force and corrosion resistance are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose provides non-marring, low-friction contact with mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 2.7 pounds and final end force of 7.3 pounds for controlled detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 8-32 thread for direct installation into common tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/32 inch plunger projection suitable for light indexing and positioning duties\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element  -  allows easy torque-in installation without staking or adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread spring plunger for use in any mechanical assembly or fixture that accepts an 8-32 tapped hole and requires a spring-loaded detent point with stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 8-32 hole in the receiving component. Use an appropriate hex key or slotted driver per the drive style of the plunger body, and avoid over-torquing, which can damage the thread or compress the spring beyond its design range. Ensure the mating surface and hole are clean and free of debris before threading in. No special codes govern installation, but standard mechanical assembly practices for threaded hardware apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09375 inches (3\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.068 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.3 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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: SSSD50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108364087602,"sku":"SSSD50","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a4510443f7431d28c8be88683f04659f.jpg?v=1790074850","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sssd50-threaded-spring-plunger-8-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
