Knob-Style Retractable Spring Plungers
Knurled Knob | With Thread Locker |
Without Thread Locker |
Retract the nose by pulling the knob. These spring plungers have a long nose that provides a large bearing surface to handle side loads.
Knurled knob spring plungers provide a slip-resistant surface for controlled adjustment.
Steel is strong and wear resistant. Zinc-plated steel bodies resist corrosion in wet environments.
316 stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel and can be used in saltwater environments.
18-8 stainless steel is chemical resistant.
Brass is corrosion resistant in wet environments; brass noses are soft to minimize marring.
Plastic is chemical resistant and lightweight. Acetal plastic noses are extra soft to minimize scratching soft surfaces such as aluminum.
Spring plungers without thread locker are for use in soft material such as aluminum, in extreme temperatures, and on parts requiring frequent assembly and removal.
Spring plungers with thread locker have a locking patch that adds friction to resist loosening.
Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.

Hex-Drive Ball-Nose Spring Plungers
Install with a hex key for more torque than slotted ball-nose spring plungers. They have a ball nose that rolls to minimize wear and allow parts to move in and out of position. Made from 440C stainless steel, the nose is hard, wear resistant, and mildly chemical resistant.
Steel bodies are strong and wear resistant. They have a black-oxide finish to resist corrosion in dry environments.
18-8 stainless steel bodies are chemical resistant and may be mildly magnetic.
Spring plungers without thread locker are for use in soft material such as aluminum, in extreme temperatures, and on parts requiring frequent assembly and removal.
Spring plungers with thread locker have a locking element that adds friction to resist loosening.
Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.

Long Hex-Nose Spring Plungers
Spring plungers without thread locker are for use in soft material such as aluminum, in extreme temperatures, and on parts requiring frequent assembly and removal.
Spring plungers with thread locker have a nylon locking pellet that adds friction to resist loosening.
Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.

Drivers for Spring Plungers
Install spring plungers from the nose end without depressing the nose.

Mounting Bases for Spring Plungers
Mount ball-nose and long-nose spring plungers to fixture surfaces. Insert the plunger into the threaded hole. They're good for horizontal applications. Fasteners are not included.
Steel mounting bases are strong and wear resistant.
18-8 stainless steel mounting bases are chemical resistant and may be mildly magnetic.

Add-a-Handle Quick-Release Pins
Add a knob or handle (sold separately) to the threaded shank. Pins have a spring-loaded ball that pops out when the pin is pushed into a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out. For the best fit, the hole should be as close to the diameter as possible, but not larger than the diameter at extended ball height. Pins are made of 18-8 stainless steel for a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. Breaking strength is measured as single shear, which is the force required to break the pin into two pieces.
