Gibraltar 10006P-G Threaded Ball Plunger 10-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10006P-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size, a steel body with a steel ball measuring 0.093 inches in diameter, and a black finish. The body length is 0.516 inches, and the maximum ball reach is 0.025 inches. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 3 pounds. This component is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers wherever repeatable part positioning or spring-loaded detent action is required.

This ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where a compact threaded plunger is needed. The 10-32 thread makes it compatible with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. Its small diameter and short body length fit tight space envelopes common in precision tooling and instrument enclosures. No locking element is included, so it threads freely into a tapped bore and can be adjusted or removed without special tooling.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes
• Steel body and steel ball for durability in mechanical service
• Ball diameter of 0.093 inches for precise detent engagement
• Initial end force of 1.5 pounds and final end force of 3 pounds
• Maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches
• Black finish with purple color code for quick identification

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install threaded ball plunger for any application requiring a 10-32 threaded plunger with a 0.093-inch steel ball and 0.516-inch body length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard hex key or driver appropriate for the plunger head style. The receiving bore must be tapped to 10-32 before installation. Ensure the mating detent groove or dimple depth is compatible with the 0.025-inch maximum ball reach to achieve proper engagement. No power lockout is required for mechanical assembly applications, but always follow facility safety procedures when working on live machinery or tooling.
