The body is machined from stainless steel and accepts standard 8-32 threaded installation. The plunger tip is made from Delrin, which provides a low-friction nose suitable for contact with metal or plastic mating surfaces. With an initial end force of 0.70 pounds and a final end force of 2.30 pounds, the SSSD51 delivers a predictable, repeatable engagement force across its 3\/32-inch projection. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals install this type of plunger in jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSSD51 is suited for use in light industrial and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or detent action is required. The 8-32 thread size and 5\/8-inch thread length make it compatible with standard tapped holes in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastic housings. Typical applications include fixture plates, sliding mechanisms, and panel-mount assemblies where the plunger must engage a detent pocket or register a moving component into a set position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in wash-down or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces friction and wear at the contact point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.70 pounds initial end force and 2.30 pounds final end force for predictable detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 8-32 thread size fits common tapped holes without custom tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/32-inch plunger projection for consistent indexing depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element  -  thread-in installation with standard hex or driver tooling\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 tapped 8-32 holes in jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies requiring light detent or indexing force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a hex key or flat driver into a clean, properly tapped 8-32 through or blind hole. Ensure threads are free of chips and debris before installation to prevent galling on the stainless steel body. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before installing or servicing plungers in active machinery. Do not over-torque during installation, as the non-locking body relies on thread friction alone to hold position.\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: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0680 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0700 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.70 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.30 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: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: SSSD51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960517656882,"sku":"SSSD51","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9d083f133acfd8f4fd58eeb150c8da0e.jpg?v=1789946426","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-sssd51-threaded-spring-plunger-8-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
