Slotted Ball-Nose Spring Plungers


Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver—they're slotted on one or both ends. The ball nose rolls to minimize wear and allow parts to move in and out of position.
Steel is strong and wear resistant.
440C stainless steel is hard, wear resistant, and mildly chemical resistant.
18-8 stainless steel is chemical resistant.
Plastic is chemical resistant and lightweight; nylon noses are extra soft to minimize marring 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 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.

Vacuum Cups


Use cups with a vacuum system to grip, lift, and move flat materials, such as sheet metal and plastic.
Buna-N rubber cups are abrasion resistant and have better oil resistance than vinyl cups.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
