Gibraltar 10007P-G Threaded Ball Plunger 10-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10007P-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 threaded body machined from steel, with a steel ball measuring 0.093 inches in diameter. The ball extends a maximum of 0.025 inches beyond the body face, providing a controlled and repeatable engagement point. Initial end force is 2 pounds, with a final end force of 5 pounds, giving the plunger a progressive resistance feel suited to precision positioning tasks. The black finish and purple color code aid in visual identification during assembly. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the typical installers of this hardware.

This ball plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where a spring-loaded detent or positioning stop is required. The 10-32 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar substrates. The compact body length of 0.516 inches suits tight-clearance applications. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both prototype and production environments across manufacturing, maintenance, and industrial assembly settings.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for installation in standard tapped holes
• Steel body and steel ball construction for durability in mechanical applications
• 0.093 inch ball diameter with 0.025 inch maximum ball reach for precise engagement
• 2 pound initial end force and 5 pound final end force for progressive detent resistance
• Black finish with purple color code for easy visual identification
• Compact 0.516 inch body length fits tight-clearance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 threaded ball plunger suitable for use in any tapped 10-32 hole in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a spring-loaded detent or positioning element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 10-32 hole in the mating component. De-energize and secure any machinery before installing or replacing plungers in active assemblies. Use an appropriate hex key or driver sized to the plunger body to thread it to the desired seating depth. Verify ball protrusion and force engagement after installation to confirm proper detent function before returning the assembly to service.
