Gibraltar MSW10-4BHYZ-G Threaded Ball Plunger M6 X 1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-4BHYZ-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for use in precision positioning, indexing, and light-duty detent applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features an M6 x 1 thread with a steel body and steel ball measuring 0.137 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.551 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.039 inches. Initial end force is 6.29 pounds and final end force is 9 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable spring-loaded positioning. This component is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, or equipment panels.

This ball plunger is suited for light-load positioning and detent functions in machine tool fixtures, assembly jigs, electronic enclosures, and general industrial equipment. The M6 x 1 threaded body allows direct installation into tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or plastic workpieces. The purple color code aids identification when multiple plunger specifications are in use at a workstation. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both original equipment builds and maintenance replacement applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6 x 1 threaded ball plunger suitable for use in any tapped M6 x 1 hole in machine fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and general industrial assemblies requiring light-duty spring-loaded positioning or detent function.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped M6 x 1 hole using an appropriate hex key or wrench. Ensure the mating hole is clean and properly tapped to full depth before installation. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing these plungers. Do not exceed the rated end force by over-compressing the ball, as this may damage the spring mechanism or the mating surface.
