The body is M6 x 1 threaded, measuring 0.551 inches in length, with a stainless steel construction throughout — both the body and the ball are stainless steel, making the plunger suitable for corrosive or wash-down environments. The ball diameter is 0.137 inches (3.50 mm), with a maximum ball reach of 0.039 inches (1.00 mm). Initial end force is 2.02 pounds and final end force is 2.92 pounds. A locking element is incorporated to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in fixture plates, jigs, tooling blocks, machine slides, and other precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable detent or positioning force is required. The M6 x 1 thread size fits standard metric threaded holes common in machine tool components, automation equipment, and industrial fixtures. The stainless steel construction suits cleanroom, food-processing-adjacent, and general industrial environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. Installation is handled by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 x 1 thread for direct installation into standard metric threaded holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and stainless steel ball for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall diameter of 0.137 inches (3.50 mm) with 0.039 inches (1.00 mm) maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 2.02 pounds and final end force of 2.92 pounds for controlled detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents back-out under vibration or cycling loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.551 inches suits tight-clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard metric threaded ball plunger for use in any application requiring an M6 x 1 threaded hole with a light-force spring-loaded detent or positioning element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall using a hex key or appropriate driver in a clean, tapped M6 x 1 through-hole or blind hole. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped and free of debris before threading the plunger in. The locking element holds the plunger at the set depth, but verify the seating torque is appropriate for the base material to avoid thread damage. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fixtures or tooling containing this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6 x 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.551 inches (14.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.137 inches (3.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches (1.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.02 pounds (9.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.92 pounds (13.00 N)\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: MSSW10-4B-PT-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701864137010,"sku":"MSSW10-4B-PT-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/99d640ceecea1f4860d92600298824ad.jpg?v=1788406221","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-mssw10-4b-pt-g-threaded-ball-plunger-m6-x-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
