Jergens Stainless Steel Spring Plunger, part number 27012, features a single-unit construction that enhances reliability by eliminating the need for a set screw, which can loosen or separate from the plunger body. This design prevents lost springs and the need for "easy-out" tools during adjustments. The plunger is made from 303 stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. It conforms to TCMA dimensional standards and includes a patch-style locking element for secure engagement. The hex drive at the rear facilitates easy insertion into tapped holes, which should be countersunk slightly larger than the plunger's major diameter for optimal performance. The plunger is color-coded to indicate force levels, with silver indicating light force and black indicating heavy force.
Jergens Spring Plungers, unlike conventional spring plungers, are machined in one piece. The spring is assembled from the top so that there is no need for a set screw. Our Spring Plungers do not have a set screw that can loosen or separate from the plunger body. The advantage is no lost springs and no need for “easy-out” tools. When adjusting Solid Drive, you can be sure the plunger body is turning and not a set screw.

Note(s):
