THREADED BALL & SPRING PLUNGER

THREADED BALL & SPRING PLUNGER

Spring Plunger is a discrete mechanical device designed to secure, position, index and lock a variety of workpieces. The spring loaded ball bearing engages and disengages in a pre defined hole, allowing movement and locking of the workpiece.

These items are frequently used in machinery building, sports & leisure equipment, medical devices and machine fixtures.

We offer either a blackened steel threaded body or a fully stainless steel version which is suitable when the spring plunger is regularly exposed to water or placed in hygiene sensitive environments such as catering or medical applications.

A slot in the base of the plunger allows precise installation with a flat head screw driver.
