Gibraltar 10102P-G Threaded Ball Plunger 10-32 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10102P-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 threaded body measuring 0.516 inches in length with a stainless steel construction throughout. The 0.093-inch diameter stainless steel ball delivers an initial end force of 1.5 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, with a maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches. This plunger is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on fixtures, jigs, tooling, and precision mechanical components requiring repeatable positioning or light retention.

The 10102P-G is suited for use in threaded bores where a compact, low-profile ball plunger is required. Its stainless steel body and ball make it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a factor, including wash-down areas, food-adjacent machinery, and general industrial equipment. The 10-32 thread size fits standard tapped holes common in light-duty fixtures and precision tooling assemblies. This part ships individually and requires a minimum order of 12 units.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 0.093-inch ball diameter with 0.025-inch maximum ball reach for compact detent action
• 1.5-pound initial end force and 3-pound final end force for light-duty positioning
• No locking element — straightforward thread-in installation
• Purple color code for quick field identification

Compatibility

Designed as a direct thread-in replacement or new installation ball plunger for any assembly or fixture with a 10-32 tapped hole requiring light detent or positioning force.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard screwdriver or hex tool appropriate for the plunger head style. Ensure the receiving bore is cleanly tapped to 10-32 before installation. Torque to snug fit only — overtightening can deform the internal spring mechanism. No power isolation is required for mechanical plunger installation in non-energized assemblies.
