What is a Press-Fit Ball and Spring Plunger?

A press-fit ball plunger, also known as a spring-loaded device (SLD), is a small and narrow device that’s used for indexing and positioning of various components.

The press-fit ball plunger consists of a metal or plastic stem with a hemispherical cup on its end. A press fit ball is constructed from stainless steel, brass, polyamide nylon, aluminum, or other materials to satisfy the application requirement. This press fit comes into contact with a hole in an object which it fits inside snugly. It has good corrosion resistance and good strength against impact loading. The press fit balls have no direct equivalent in screw technology.

It operates by being pressed into the hole where it expands slightly, preventing it from being pushed out. The press-fit ball plunger is suitable for press fits of 5 mm and larger.

The press-fit ball plunger increases operational safety and reduces production costs in the application of electrical contacts, machine technology, and screw drives.

A press-fit ball plunger is a spring plunger used for press-fit insertion. The press-fit balls are press-fitted to the holes of components, which allow for fastening when inserted into another object or material using simple force.

The press-fit ball plunger is made up of two circular pieces that have an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the press-fit ball it will hold in place. This difference creates compressive forces between the press fit device and the press fit recess once they are brought closer together, this being due to each piece’s elasticity.

Once in position, one half is released from its position while holding the second half still, the press fit balls to be inserted and press fit recesses are pressed together, causing the press-fit balls to press against the press fit recesses.

The press-fit balls are retained by compressive forces when in contact with press-fit recesses within a material or object, which allows for retention without requiring fasteners or other means of attachment.

A spring plunger is made out of stainless steel, which makes it rust resistant. This plunger is hollow and cylindrical in order to hold multiple press-fit balls at once.

Spring loaded plunger are used when there’s a need to maintain constant pressure over time in an application that has rotating components. The force required for this type of connection is greater than the one needed for press-fit insertion, requiring a press fit ball plunger that’s stronger and pressurized.

A spring ball plunger is a spring loaded tool that automatically shuts the water off when the spring compresses to its limit. In other words, it acts as a spring when you press it against a pipe or hose bibb and then when you release the spring compresses enough so that when someone turns on the water and there’s no pressure to hold open the valve (hose bibb), the spring can compress down and shut off the water. This saves time and money by preventing leaks from fire hydrants which cause main breaks and having to dig up roads to make repairs. Spring loaded plungers are also called spring valves because they work like a check valve but with springs instead of flapper like in toilets for example or spring loaded ball valves.

The spring is a coil spring and the plunger is a round solid piece of metal which makes it springy, but more durable than a spring alone. When the water is turned off the spring extends to its normal state until someone turns on the water again and compression begins as soon as there’s no pressure on the spring. In fact these type plungers can’t be used with anything that has constant pressure on them or they’ll just keep closing over and over again once there’s no water being supplied or if it’s some sort of industrial application that runs 24/7 because it needs a way to relieve itself from this constant stress. The spring is actually stainless steel so it won’t rust, corrode, or rot away.
