The body measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.218 inches in length. A stainless steel ball with a 0.312-inch diameter extends up to 0.161 inches beyond the body face. Initial end force is 8 pounds and final end force is 18 pounds, giving the plunger a firm, predictable snap action. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians in production and MRO settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for press-fit installation into drilled holes in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine frames, and similar assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, including food-processing equipment, washdown areas, and outdoor or humid industrial settings. No locking element or flange is present on this model, keeping the profile compact for tight clearance installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball for corrosion-resistant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress fit installation — no threading required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.312-inch stainless steel ball with 0.161-inch maximum reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-pound initial end force and 18-pound final end force for consistent detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo flange and no locking element for low-profile, compact fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style or replacement press fit ball plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5-inch diameter body bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or maintenance technician typically installs press fit ball plungers using a arbor press or bench vise to seat the body flush without damaging the ball mechanism. Ensure the receiving bore diameter and depth match the plunger body dimensions before pressing. De-energize and lock out any powered equipment before servicing an assembly that contains this plunger. Do not strike the ball directly during installation, as impact can deform the ball seat and alter force characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.312 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: 8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 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\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: 10612SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694683160882,"sku":"10612SS","price":22.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3ae08f3916a79f3d3340f966b0abf1d0.jpg?v=1788327137","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-10612ss-press-fit-ball-plunger-0-5-in-dia","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
