Spring Plungers T H E D I F F E R E N C E The Standard Components with the Highest Standards™ JERGENS SPRING PLUNGERS Solid Drive™ Design allows the entire plunger to move, preventing lost parts and improving plunger adjustments. Engineered with a smooth continuous radius tip to improve the point of contact. Solid tool steel, hardened throughout. Close tolerance between tip and body provides better fit between parts for smoother motion and precise fit. OTHER MANUFACTURERS’ SPRING PLUNGERS Set screw, instead of the plunger, can back out during removal, leaving the plunger body in the tapped hole. Two-step, turn-and-grind manufacturing leaves ridges on tips that can gouge finished parts. Mild steel is merely case hardened. Sloppy alignment restricts tip movement and will allow dirt to enter and shorten the life of the plunger. The Set Screw Limitation Two-piece body design is a common cause of hard-to-remove plungers and lost springs. Solid Drive™ Design Plunger body is made of one integral piece, eliminating the need for a set screw. VS.
