Gibraltar 10005-G Threaded Ball Plunger 10-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10005-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 10-32 thread, a steel body with a black finish, and a steel ball measuring 0.093 inches in diameter. The ball delivers a maximum reach of 0.025 inches, an initial end force of 0.5 pounds, and a final end force of 1.5 pounds. A locking element is built into the body to secure the plunger in place once installed. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals commonly install this type of component.

This ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or spring-loaded detent action is required. The 10-32 threaded body allows installation into standard tapped holes. The compact body length of 0.516 inches makes it appropriate for space-constrained assemblies. The black finish and purple color code aid in identification and inventory management on the shop floor.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes
• Steel body and steel ball construction for durability in mechanical applications
• Built-in locking element secures plunger position after installation
• Black finish with purple color code for easy identification
• Initial end force of 0.5 pounds and final end force of 1.5 pounds for light detent action
• Compact 0.516 inch body length suits space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 threaded ball plunger for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring light spring-loaded detent or positioning functionality.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex key or installation tool appropriate for the thread size. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and tapped to 10-32 specification before threading in the plunger. Engage the locking element fully to prevent the plunger from backing out during operation. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the body or restrict ball movement.
