Featuring a 3\/8-16 thread and a steel body with a steel ball, this plunger installs into a tapped hole and uses spring-loaded ball engagement to hold or locate a workpiece or mating component. The ball diameter measures 0.187 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.048 inches. Initial end force is 5 pounds and final end force is 10 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of hardware in jigs, fixtures, and production equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger suits light-duty positioning applications in industrial and manufacturing environments. Its 3\/8-16 threaded body installs directly into a standard tapped hole, making it a straightforward replacement or new-build component for fixtures, dies, and assembly tooling. The black finish and purple color code aid in identification during assembly and inventory management. It is sold individually and is suited for both OEM production builds and field maintenance tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel ball construction for durability in industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch body length fits compact fixture and tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 lb initial end force and 10 lb final end force for reliable spring-loaded engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.187 inch ball diameter with 0.048 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish with purple color code for easy part identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8-16 threaded ball plunger suitable for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring spring-loaded ball indexing or positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 3\/8-16 hole in the mating component.
