SUS304 Stainless Steel Multi-Step Reciprocating Plunger Shaft
This integrated three-stage stepped plunger core is precision CNC turned and cylindrical ground for fluid dispensing valves, quantitative filling equipment and miniature automation positioning fixtures, composed of mirror polished sliding mandrel, two transitional limiting shoulders and flanged base with radial side flow hole. It acts as reciprocating drive core for micro fluid control and linear indexing systems.
- Material: SUS304 Stainless Steel
Hardness: HB 150–185
Tolerance: ±0.0015 mm
Surface Finish: Mirror Polished Upper Sliding Shaft + Matte Brushed Base Body
Multi-Step Plunger Linear Motion Engineering
Three concentric stepped segments integrate sliding guiding, stroke limiting and fixed mounting into one single piece. The ultra-smooth mirror polished top mandrel enables low-friction reciprocating movement inside valve sleeves, effectively preventing liquid leakage and metal galling during high-speed cycles. Two diameter transitional shoulders form hard stop limits to precisely control plunger travel distance without extra limit accessories. The radial through hole on the bottom flange serves as liquid inlet for internal fluid circulation of dispensing valves. One-piece solid stainless steel structure resists hydraulic pressure and reciprocating impact deformation, sustaining stable flow output and repeated positioning accuracy over millions of working strokes.
Anti-Corrosion SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction
SUS304 stainless steel delivers core advantages for fluid and precision positioning plunger shafts:
- Fully resistant to glue, solvent, disinfectant and weak acid liquid corrosion, suitable for medical, food and electronic fluid automation equipment
- Non-magnetic substrate eliminates magnetic interference with micro electronic components during assembly and inspection
- Excellent ultra-fine grinding performance to achieve mirror smooth sliding surface, reducing friction coefficient and cutting down regular lubrication maintenance
- Non-toxic metal composition meets food contact and medical hygiene standards without heavy metal precipitation pollution Ideal for precision dispensing valves, medical reagent metering pumps, miniature mold ejector pins and robotic indexing fixture plungers.
