The plunger features a 10-32 threaded body machined from stainless steel, with a stainless steel ball measuring 0.093 inches in diameter. A locking element is built into the body to secure the plunger in place once installed to the desired depth. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 3 pounds, providing a controlled and repeatable detent action suited for precision positioning tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is commonly used in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable part positioning or panel retention is required. The 10-32 thread size fits standard tapped holes found in aluminum, steel, and plastic fixtures. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance or cleanliness standards are a consideration, including food-processing-adjacent equipment and industrial automation fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking element secures installed depth without additional hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 pound initial end force and 3 pound final end force for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.093 inch ball diameter with 0.025 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.5156 inches (33\/64 inches) for tight-clearance installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 10-32 threaded ball plunger for use in tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and similar light-duty positioning assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a standard hex key or spanner wrench sized for the plunger body. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. The built-in locking element eliminates the need for a separate jam nut but requires proper seating torque to activate retention. Do not over-torque, as this may damage the locking element or distort the thread form in softer base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.093 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5156 inches (33\/64 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\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: 10102-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700969144626,"sku":"10102-G","price":34.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b48701bfe6dfb71ebc380fd94d2d604b.jpg?v=1788396026","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10102-g-threaded-ball-plunger-10-32-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
