Kipp Ball Style - Slotted - Thread Lock

KIPP ball style slotted thread‑lock components are commonly used as spring-loaded ball plungers (detent plungers) that include a thread‑locking feature to help resist loosening after installation (application dependent; verify per listing). Ball plungers provide repeatable detent action by pressing a spring-loaded ball against a mating surface, groove, or pocket to create controlled “click” positioning and consistent contact force. A thread‑lock design is often chosen for fixtures and machine elements exposed to vibration or repeated cycling, where maintaining the set position is important (application dependent). The slotted drive allows installation and adjustment using a standard flathead screwdriver (application dependent).
