Gibraltar 10622SS Press Fit Ball Plunger 0.188 in Dia

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 10622SS is a press fit ball plunger with a stainless steel body and Delrin ball, designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light detent applications. The body measures 0.188 inches in diameter and 0.44 inches in length. The 0.187-inch Delrin ball delivers an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 2.5 pounds, with a maximum ball reach of 0.058 inches. No flange and no locking element keep the profile compact. This type of hardware is installed by machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance trades working with jigs, fixtures, tooling, and mechanical assemblies.

The 10622SS is suited for light-duty positioning and detent work in industrial and commercial settings. Typical applications include tooling fixtures, equipment panels, sliding components, and assembly jigs where a repeatable spring-loaded detent is needed. The press fit body allows direct installation into a drilled hole without additional hardware. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in washdown and moderate chemical environments, and the purple color code aids identification during assembly.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in industrial and washdown environments
• Delrin ball material provides low-friction, wear-resistant detent action
• 0.188-inch body diameter with press fit installation — no threading or additional hardware required
• 1 pound initial end force and 2.5 pound final end force for light-duty detent and positioning use
• 0.058-inch maximum ball reach for controlled engagement depth
• Purple color code for quick identification during assembly or inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit ball plunger for use in drilled holes sized for a 0.188-inch diameter body in tooling, fixtures, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies requiring a spring-loaded detent element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a precisely sized drilled hole to accept the 0.188-inch press fit body. Use a press or arbor press to seat the plunger flush and square — do not hammer directly on the ball or body, as this can deform the detent mechanism. Verify hole tolerance before installation, as press fit components are not designed for removal and reinstallation. Ensure the mating surface or component is free of burrs and debris before pressing in.
