It features a 6-40 thread size, a stainless steel body, and a stainless steel ball measuring 0.078 inches in diameter. The plunger delivers 0.5 pounds of initial end force and 1 pound of final end force, making it well suited for low-force retention tasks. With a body length of 0.3125 inches and a maximum ball reach of 0.023 inches, this compact component fits tight-clearance installations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in industrial and light mechanical applications where a spring-loaded ball is needed to locate, retain, or provide tactile feedback between moving parts. Typical installation scenarios include jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards must be maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-40 thread size for installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.078 inch ball diameter with 0.023 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 1 pound final end force for light detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.3125 inch body length suits tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element, allowing straightforward threaded installation and removal\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 any mechanical assembly, jig, fixture, or tooling application requiring a 6-40 tapped hole and light spring-loaded ball retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex key or screwdriver appropriate for the plunger head style. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and correctly sized for 6-40 threads before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can restrict ball travel or damage the thread. No power source needs to be isolated for this purely mechanical component.\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 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: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.051 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: 10003P-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723038556466,"sku":"10003P-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33abbd15476b4dfbd9e75331017cbf53.jpg?v=1788599666","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10003p-g-threaded-ball-plunger-6-40-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
