It features a 6-40 thread size, a stainless steel body, and a stainless steel ball measuring 0.078 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.3125 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.023 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.0 pound. A locking element is incorporated to secure the plunger in the threaded bore after installation. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10003-G is suited for light-force detent and positioning tasks in small mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment. Its compact 6-40 threaded body fits tight-clearance bores where a reliable, repeatable ball-detent action is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor, including washdown or high-humidity settings common in food processing, medical equipment, and general industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-40 thread size for compact, tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and stainless steel ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.078 inches ball diameter with 0.023 inches maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 1.0 pound final end force for light-duty detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger position in the threaded bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor code purple for quick field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded ball plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment requiring a 6-40 threaded detent or positioning component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using the appropriate driver for the 6-40 thread; avoid over-torquing, which can damage the locking element or distort the threaded bore. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Engage the locking element per the assembly specification to prevent back-out under vibration. No power source shutoff is required for mechanical plunger installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.023 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10003-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699725238578,"sku":"10003-G","price":32.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/717b4a3aabc2561f684d721662385a63.jpg?v=1788379892","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10003-g-threaded-ball-plunger-6-40-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
