Spring Plungers

Spring-Loaded Devices

Carr Lane Spring Plungers are self-contained plunger-and-spring devices that apply force over a relatively long range of travel. The sliding plunger nose featured on all Carr Lane spring loaded plungers has a long bearing length to provide smooth, linear operation. Carr Lane’s line of Spring Loaded Plungers includes standard models, as well as short spring plungers, extended travel Spring Plungers, Press Fit Spring Plungers and Plunger Wrenches. Spring plungers and Press Fit Plungers are available in a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, steel with a Delrin® nose and stainless steel with a Delrin® nose. All Carr Lane Spring Plungers are proudly made in the USA. Browse the complete line of Spring Loaded Plungers below.

What is this?

Technical Information

Spring Plungers are available in a wide range of types and sizes, most in a choice of light or heavy end force. A Spring Plunger’s end force is very consistent -- beginning at the stated “initial” value, and increasing linearly (due to spring compression) throughout the range of travel, until it reaches the stated “final” value at maximum travel.

Most Spring Plungers have a locking element to hold it securely in place after installation. This element is a locking patch on small diameters and a nylon locking pellet on larger sizes. To obtain full holding torque on sizes with a locking pellet, countersink the installation hole to avoid cutting the pellet. Countersink at a 90° angle to a diameter 1/32” larger than the major thread diameter. Then, as you screw the plunger into its hole, the locking pellet will be compressed, no cut. The locking pellet does not apply excessive force, so it also works well in softer metals such as aluminum.

Spring Plungers are recommended only for applying straight-line force, not for sideways breakaway from a detent position. For breakaway applications, use a Ball Plunger instead, because the rolling ball and short stroke of a Ball Plunger are essential for smooth, repeatable operation.
