Spring Plungers
Spring plungers are essential components in mechanical and industrial applications, designed to provide accurate positioning, locking, and indexing. These devices consist of a spring-loaded plunger that applies consistent force to hold or locate objects in place, making them ideal for use in fixtures, tooling, and assembly operations. With various materials, nose types, and load ratings available, OneMonroe offers a comprehensive selection of spring plungers to meet the demands of diverse industries.
At OneMonroe, we understand that precision and durability are critical when selecting the right spring plunger for your application. Our extensive inventory includes standard and custom options, ensuring you get the optimal fit for your needs. Explore key attributes such as material composition, thread type, spring force, and locking mechanisms to find the perfect solution for your project.
Spring Plungers
- End Pressure: The pressure exerted at the plunger tip in fully extended position, impacting holding or positioning strength.
- Material: Common materials include steel, stainless steel, and brass, impacting durability, corrosion resistance, and application suitability.
- Overall Length: The total length of the plunger, impacting how much it protrudes and how much reach it provides when extended.
- Plunger Type: Defines the type of plunger tip, such as ball or pin tip, which affects contact with the surface or part it interacts with.
- Spring Force: The force exerted by the internal spring, often specified as initial (starting) and final (maximum) force. It determines how strongly the plunger presses against the object.
- Spring plungers are components that use a spring loaded mechanism to apply pressure, holding or positioning objects in place. Here are key attributes:
- Thread Length: The length of the threaded section, crucial for mounting depth and securing the plunger in place.
- Thread Size: Indicates the threaded portion size, which is essential for fitting into corresponding threaded holes or mounts.
- Tip Diameter: The diameter of the plunger tip, impacting its contact area and compatibility with different surfaces.
- Tip Material: Specifies the material of the plunger tip, such as steel, plastic, or nylon, which affects wear resistance and reduces marring or scratching on contact surfaces.
