Kipp Steel Body - Stainless Ball

KIPP steel body / stainless steel ball parts are spring-loaded ball plungers (also called detent plungers) used for positioning, indexing, and light retention in fixtures, jigs, and machine elements (application dependent; verify per listing). Ball plungers create repeatable detent action by pressing a spring-loaded ball against a mating surface, groove, or pocket to provide controlled “click” positioning and consistent contact force. A stainless ball is often selected to improve corrosion resistance and durability at the contact point, while the steel body provides a cost-effective, general-purpose housing for many industrial applications (application dependent).
