Gibraltar 10001P-G Threaded Ball Plunger 4-48 Stainless

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10001P-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for light-duty positioning, indexing, and detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 4-48 thread size, a stainless steel body measuring 3/16 inches in body length, and a stainless steel ball with a 0.062 inch diameter. The maximum ball reach is 0.02 inches, with an initial end force of 0.13 pounds and a final end force of 0.50 pounds. This plunger is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians working with precision tooling, fixtures, jigs, and light mechanical hardware.

This ball plunger suits applications where a small, threaded detent or positioning element is needed in a compact space. The 4-48 thread makes it appropriate for fine-thread installations in thin panels, fixtures, or tooling blocks where space is limited. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wash-down, humid, or chemically exposed environments. It is commonly used in industrial tooling, precision fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies requiring repeatable, low-force positioning.

Key Features

• 4-48 thread size for fine-thread, compact installations
• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance
• 0.062 inch ball diameter with 0.02 inch maximum ball reach
• Initial end force of 0.13 pounds and final end force of 0.50 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded ball plunger for light-duty mechanical positioning and detent applications using 4-48 threaded holes.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex key or driver appropriate for the 4-48 thread. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as the small thread size is susceptible to damage from excessive torque. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this component.
