The 1\/4-20 threaded body installs into tapped housings and provides controlled spring-loaded ball engagement. The stainless steel body and stainless steel ball deliver corrosion resistance suitable for washdown and outdoor environments. A locking element secures the plunger in place once torqued to position, preventing back-out under vibration. Initial end force is 4 pounds and final end force is 12 pounds, giving a defined engagement feel for precision positioning work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in industrial and mechanical maintenance applications where repeatable part positioning or panel detenting is required. Typical installations include fixture tooling, jig assemblies, access panels, and equipment enclosures. The 1\/4-20 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes in aluminum, steel, and plastic housings. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this style of plunger for low-load indexing tasks where a clean, threadlocked fit is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 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 prevents back-out under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-pound initial end force and 12-pound final end force for defined detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125-inch ball diameter with 0.035-inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.531-inch body length suits tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for standard 1\/4-20 threaded ball plunger applications in mechanical fixtures, jig assemblies, and equipment enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 1\/4-20 hole in the receiving material. Use a hex key or appropriate driver to torque the plunger body into position; the integrated locking element holds position once set. Ensure the ball engagement path is clear of debris before installing. Degrease threads if applying thread-locking compound in addition to the built-in locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.531 inches (17\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 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: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 10106-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689416982834,"sku":"10106-G","price":36.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/65ea621849dd7f59cb95b2ea925404d5.jpg?v=1788259154","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10106-g-threaded-ball-plunger-1-4-20-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
