It features an M8x1.25 thread, a steel body, and a steel ball measuring 0.196 inches in diameter. The locking element secures the plunger at a set position within the threaded bore, preventing back-out under vibration or repeated cycling. Initial end force is 1.12 pounds and final end force is 2.25 pounds, giving the installer a defined resistance range for the application. Maximum ball reach is 0.059 inches. At 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight hardware component suited to precision assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in manufacturing fixtures, tooling jigs, machine tool components, and industrial equipment where repeatable positioning or light-load detent action is required. The M8x1.25 thread is a standard metric coarse thread, making this plunger compatible with a wide range of threaded housings in both OEM production and MRO maintenance environments. The purple color code aids in visual identification during assembly and kitting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM8x1.25 metric coarse thread for broad housing compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel ball for durability in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element prevents back-out under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefined force range: 1.12 pounds initial to 2.25 pounds final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.059 inches for controlled detent travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple color code for easy visual identification during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard metric threaded ball plunger for use in any threaded bore with an M8x1.25 internal thread in mechanical fixtures, tooling, and industrial equipment assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped M8x1.25 bore using an appropriate wrench or hex key on the body flats. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged to the specified torque range recommended by the assembly drawing or equipment manufacturer. Do not exceed the maximum ball reach specification, as overextension may damage the detent mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8x1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.196 inches (5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.059 inches (1.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.12 pounds (5.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 pounds (10.00 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\u003ePackage Weight\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: MSW10-5BLCZ-PTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697580278066,"sku":"MSW10-5BLCZ-PTG","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1aaf12d7cd07f2d32120322259b609f4.jpg?v=1788353029","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-msw10-5blcz-ptg-threaded-ball-plunger-m8x1-25","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
