Gibraltar MSW10-3BP-G Threaded Ball Plunger M4 X 0.7

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-3BP-G is a threaded ball plunger with an M4 x 0.7 thread size, designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The body and ball are both steel construction, providing durability in industrial and trade environments. The ball measures 0.098 inches in diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.032 inches and a body length of 0.354 inches. Initial end force is 0.9 lb and final end force is 2.25 lb, making it suitable for low-force retention tasks. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in place once installed. This part is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical technicians.

The MSW10-3BP-G is used in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or light detent action is required. The M4 x 0.7 thread fits standard metric threaded holes and is appropriate for applications in manufacturing equipment, automation panels, and precision mechanical devices. The compact body length of 0.354 inches makes it well suited for installations with limited clearance depth. The purple color code aids in identification during assembly and maintenance.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for metric M4 x 0.7 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped M4 x 0.7 hole using an appropriate hex key or driver. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling. Consult the assembly drawing or equipment manual for recommended seating depth and torque guidance specific to the host assembly.
