The body measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.218 inches in length, with a stainless steel ball measuring 0.187 inches in diameter and a maximum ball reach of 0.161 inches. Initial end force is 4 pounds, with a final end force of 9 pounds. The black-finished steel body installs via press fit into a drilled hole, requiring no threads or locking elements. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this component in fixtures, jigs, and equipment panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 10605 is suited for light-duty detent and positioning applications in manufacturing tooling, machine fixtures, assembly jigs, and equipment enclosures. The press fit installation method makes it appropriate for situations where threaded installation is not practical or where a flush, low-profile body is required. The stainless steel ball provides corrosion resistance at the contact point while the steel body maintains structural integrity within the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress fit body installs without threads or locking hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel ball for corrosion resistance at the contact surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-pound initial end force and 9-pound final end force for reliable detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish on steel body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo flange, no locking element — minimal footprint in tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually, no minimum order beyond single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press fit ball plunger for use in machined bores requiring a 0.5-inch diameter body in industrial tooling, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires pressing the body into a properly sized 0.5-inch diameter drilled or reamed bore using an arbor press or similar tooling — do not hammer directly onto the ball or body end. Ensure the bore depth accommodates the full 1.218-inch body length before pressing. Verify that the bore surface finish and tolerance are within specifications to achieve proper retention force. This type of component is typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians during fixture fabrication or equipment assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.218 inches\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: Stainless Steel\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: 0.161 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: 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.04 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: 10605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722729980210,"sku":"10605","price":20.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5f95831046cea8e3da4bc23fe930c597.jpg?v=1788595081","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10605-steel-press-fit-ball-plunger","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
