Gibraltar MSSW10-4BL-G Threaded Ball Plunger M6 X 1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSSW10-4BL-G is a threaded ball plunger with an M6 x 1 thread size, designed for use in indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications across industrial and mechanical assemblies. The body and ball are both constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The ball measures 0.137 inches in diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.039 inches. Initial end force is 0.45 pounds and final end force is 1.35 pounds, making this plunger suited for low-force spring-loaded positioning tasks. It is installed by threading directly into a tapped hole with no additional locking element required.

This ball plunger is used in machine tool fixtures, jigs, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable part positioning or light detent action is needed. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is required, such as food processing equipment, medical device assemblies, or general industrial machinery. The compact body length of 0.551 inches allows installation in space-constrained locations. It ships as a single-piece unit and is sold individually.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 thread size for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance
• 0.137 inches ball diameter with 0.039 inches maximum ball reach
• 0.45 pounds initial end force and 1.35 pounds final end force for low-force detent applications

• Compact 0.551 inches body length suits tight assembly spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6 x 1 threaded ball plunger suitable for use in any application requiring a metric-threaded spring-loaded ball detent in that thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped M6 x 1 hole in the receiving component. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner tool as suited to the plunger head style. Ensure the mating bore and detent geometry are designed to match the ball diameter and reach specifications before installation. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient to retain the plunger body under operating loads.
