Discover high corrosion resistance with Wixroyd spring plungers

Spring plungers are a universal tool used in many industries and applications including medical engineering, food technology and hygienic environments as well as in outdoor areas. These present challenging environmental requirements for the usual standard materials such as steel, stainless 303/4, however, Wixroyd has the spring plunger to take them on.

Higher Resistance but Lower Cost

Wixroyd’s new corrosion resistant spring plunger range 32102 are a standardised solution to these environmental challenges. What’s more is they provide reduced prices and lead times compared to developing a bespoke solution?

The spring plunger is formed of a sleeve composed of passivated A4 steel (1.4404), while the springs and the ball consist of passivated steel (1.4568) and ceramic (Si3N4), respectively. This selection of materials provides a high degree of corrosion protection and outstanding wear resistance – even under the most extreme conditions of use.

Featuring a distinctive black colour, the ball offers additional advantages:

  • It is harder than most usual standard parts
  • Impact-resistant
  • Electrically insulating
  • Non-magnetic

Normally our spring plungers tested specifically for spring deflection and elastic force whereas our new corrosion resistant spring plungers are subjected to weather resistance testing as well.

The results speak for themselves:

Salt spray test: The spring plungers withstood the salt spray test without any difficulty for 96 hours.

Cold tests revealed: The spring plungers do not freeze up and remain fully operational even in temperatures below freezing.

Temperature Test: spring plungers are suitable for use in the upper temperature range up to 250°C.

Do we have what you need?

In short, yes! The new spring plunger’s range 32102 are available as ready-to-install components and come in two models. Wixroyd offers standard elastic force models in the sizes M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 and M16 and increased elastic force models in the sizes M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 and M16.
