Gibraltar MSSW10-6BH-G Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSSW10-6BH-G is a threaded ball plunger with an M10 x 1.5 thread size, designed to provide controlled positioning, indexing, and light-duty detent functions in mechanical assemblies. The body and ball are both constructed from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The ball measures 0.236 inches in diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches. Initial end force is 13.49 pounds and final end force is 20.23 pounds, making this plunger suitable for applications requiring consistent, repeatable spring-loaded retention. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of hardware component.

This ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine slides, and similar industrial or mechanical positioning applications. The M10 x 1.5 thread allows installation into standard metric-threaded bores. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in environments where moisture, cutting fluids, or mild chemicals are present. It is sold individually and is compatible with applications that call for a non-locking threaded ball plunger without a locking element.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for metric M10 x 1.5 bored applications in jigs, fixtures, tooling, and mechanical positioning assemblies requiring a non-locking stainless steel plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped M10 x 1.5 bore using an appropriate hex key or spanner. Ensure the bore is clean and free of debris before installation. No special tools or certifications are typically required, but follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for torque and thread engagement depth. Always de-energize or lock out the associated machine before servicing components in the assembly.
