Spring Plunger

A spring plunger is a small, threaded body component containing a spring-loaded ball or nose that projects from one end. When the ball or nose is pushed against a mating surface or detent, the internal spring lets it retract and then return, providing a controlled, repeatable holding, locating, or indexing force. Compact yet versatile, spring plungers are widely used wherever parts need to be positioned, held, or released quickly without complex mechanisms.
