It features a 3\/8-16 thread for straightforward installation into tapped holes, a steel body with a black finish, and a steel ball with a 0.187-inch diameter. The ball extends a maximum of 0.048 inches beyond the body face. Initial end force is 6 pounds, with a final end force of 21 pounds, providing a firm, reliable detent feel. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or tactile detent feedback is required. The 3\/8-16 thread size accommodates standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar substrates. The black finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor industrial environments. The compact 5\/8-inch body length suits applications where space is limited. It is sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 threaded body for 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\u003e0.187-inch ball diameter with 0.048-inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-pound initial end force and 21-pound final end force for firm detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish on body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 5\/8-inch body length for space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation ball plunger for mechanical assemblies, jigs, and fixtures requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded detent component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a tapped 3\/8-16 hole in the mating component. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or replacing plungers in active assemblies. A hex key or spanner wrench appropriate to the drive style should be used to seat the plunger without over-torquing the threaded body. Verify ball movement is unobstructed and end force is appropriate for the application before returning the assembly to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.187 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.048 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 10016P-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708100346162,"sku":"10016P-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/97eefab9356557e571f0f90fb92342ad.jpg?v=1788444188","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10016p-g-threaded-ball-plunger-3-8-16-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
