Gibraltar 10110P-G Threaded Ball Plunger 3/8-16 Stainless

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10110P-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 3/8-16 threaded body machined from stainless steel, with a stainless steel ball measuring 0.187 inches in diameter. The ball extends a maximum of 0.048 inches and delivers an initial end force of 2.5 pounds, increasing to a final end force of 5 pounds under full compression. The body length is 0.625 inches. This type of hardware is typically installed by machine builders, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on positioning fixtures, jigs, slides, and tooling assemblies.

The 10110P-G is suited for light industrial and precision mechanical applications where repeatable detent positioning is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance matters, including washdown areas, food-processing-adjacent equipment, and humid or wet service conditions. The 3/8-16 thread is a standard coarse thread size, allowing installation into tapped holes in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Sold individually as a single-piece unit.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 3/8-16 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• 0.187-inch ball diameter with 0.048-inch maximum ball reach for precise detent engagement
• Initial end force of 2.5 pounds and final end force of 5 pounds for controlled indexing resistance
• Compact 0.625-inch body length suits confined installation spaces
• No locking element — standard spring-loaded design for straightforward installation and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 threaded ball plunger for use in tapped-hole applications across industrial fixtures, positioning jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring spring-loaded detent or indexing action.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 3/8-16 through or blind hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate wrench or hex tool on the body flats and tighten to snug without over-torquing, as excessive force can distort the spring mechanism. Ensure the bore is clean and free of chips or debris before threading in the plunger. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing this hardware.
