Gibraltar MSSW10-4BH-PT-G Threaded Ball Plunger M6 X 1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSSW10-4BH-PT-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for precision positioning and indexing applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a stainless steel body with an M6 x 1 thread and a stainless steel ball measuring 0.137 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.551 inches, and the maximum ball reach is 0.039 inches. With an initial end force of 6.29 pounds and a final end force of 9 pounds, this plunger provides controlled, repeatable spring tension for locating, detenting, and light clamping tasks. A locking element is included for secure installation. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision assembly technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and automated assembly equipment where consistent positioning force is required. The M6 x 1 metric thread fits standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and other common workpiece materials. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance or washdown compatibility is a consideration. The purple color code aids in quick visual identification during assembly or inventory management.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 metric thread for broad fitment in standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance
• 0.137 inch ball diameter with 0.039 inch maximum ball reach
• 6.29 pound initial end force and 9 pound final end force for controlled detent action
• Locking element included for secure, vibration-resistant installation
• Purple color code for easy visual identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric threaded ball plunger for use in tapped M6 x 1 holes in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a properly tapped M6 x 1 hole using a hex key or appropriate drive tool. Engage the locking element per the manufacturer's instructions to prevent loosening under vibration or repeated cycling. Ensure the mating bore and thread are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as this may restrict ball movement or damage the spring mechanism.
