The plunger features an M6 x 1 thread, a stainless steel body measuring 0.551 inches in length, and a stainless steel ball with a diameter of 0.137 inches. Initial end force is 6.29 pounds and final end force is 9 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable resistance. The stainless steel construction on both body and ball makes this plunger suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is required. It is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, or maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, or mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in precision fixtures, machine tool setups, and general mechanical assemblies where controlled positioning or detenting is needed. The M6 x 1 metric thread allows straightforward installation into tapped holes in a wide range of workholding and assembly components. The purple color code aids in quick identification during assembly and maintenance. No locking element is included, making this a standard spring-loaded plunger configuration appropriate for applications where thread-lock compounds or mechanical locking is handled separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 x 1 metric thread for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.137-inch ball diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.039 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.29-pound initial end force and 9-pound final end force for consistent detenting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple color code for easy identification during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo locking element — compatible with standard thread-locking methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard metric threaded ball plunger for use in fixtures, jigs, machine tool components, and general mechanical assemblies requiring an M6 x 1 threaded positioning element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped M6 x 1 hole using an appropriate hex key or spanner tool. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. If permanent retention is required, apply a thread-locking compound rated for the operating load. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the spring mechanism or ball seat.\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\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: 6.29 pounds (28.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.00 pounds (40.00 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: No\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: MSSW10-4BH-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708981051698,"sku":"MSSW10-4BH-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1084c49ba899c5bbf4315363e9539536.jpg?v=1788449541","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-mssw10-4bh-g-threaded-ball-plunger-m6-x-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
