What is...
Spring Plungers are a discrete mechanical device to secure, position, index, positively lock and apply lift-off pressure. They are a three-piece component: ball or pin as the contact point, spring of varying force, assembled into a small grub screw like housing. The housing is typically made from steel, stainless steel (A3 or A4), brass or plastic, with ball bearing steel ball or pin head. They are available in a range of threads as small as M2 up to M24, in UNC and UNF inch sizes. They also come as smooth body push-fit models, for quick and easy installation.
