Spring Plungers from KIPP |

LONG-LOK Locking Elements
| KIPP ball plungers and pin plungers are available with LONG-LOK nylon locking elements. The LONG-LOK prevents any change in position due to vibration. The spring plunger is securely held in place, but it can be adjusted, removed, or reinstalled up to 20 times with no significant loss in holding power. This is a significant advantage over other threadlock systems. |
|
|
| Push fit plungers have a smooth body designed for applications where threaded installation is not needed. Especially suited for soft materials such as aluminum, plastic, or wood. Some versions include O-rings to enable installation in overhead applications. |
