The body is M6 x 1 threaded steel, measuring 0.551 inches in length, with a 0.137-inch diameter steel ball. The ball delivers an initial end force of 6.29 pounds and a final end force of 9 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable spring-loaded resistance. A locking element is incorporated into the body to secure the plunger in the tapped bore after installation. This component is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and precision assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for light-duty positioning and detent functions in industrial machinery, machine tool fixtures, jigs, and similar mechanical assemblies. The M6 x 1 thread fits standard metric tapped holes, making it a common selection for both OEM manufacturing and MRO replacement applications. Maximum ball reach is 0.039 inches, which governs engagement depth with mating detent features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 x 1 threaded steel body, 0.551 inches in body length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.137-inch diameter steel ball with 0.039-inch maximum reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 6.29 pounds; final end force of 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger position in tapped bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor code: Purple for quick field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually — package quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation in standard M6 x 1 metric tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, and light-duty positioning assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped M6 x 1 hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex key or installation tool to thread the plunger body into the bore and engage the locking element. Ensure the receiving surface is clean and free of chips or debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the locking element or distort the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6 x 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.551 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.137 inches (3.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches (1.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.29 pounds (28.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.00 pounds (40.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSW10-4BHYZ-PTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721490039090,"sku":"MSW10-4BHYZ-PTG","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2e1f1c8c7ac0fe194ad978890fe486fb.jpg?v=1788578027","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-msw10-4bhyz-ptg-threaded-ball-plunger-m6-x-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
