Gibraltar MSW10-6B-G Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-6B-G is a threaded ball plunger with an M10 x 1.5 thread size, designed to provide repeatable indexing, positioning, and light detent force in mechanical assemblies. The steel body measures 0.748 inches in body length and houses a 6 mm (0.236 inch) steel ball with a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches. Initial end force is 4.5 pounds and final end force is 7.87 pounds, making this plunger suitable for applications requiring consistent, controlled resistance. It installs by threading directly into a tapped hole and requires no locking element. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the typical installers of this component.

This ball plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where a spring-loaded ball is needed to hold a part in position or provide tactile detent feedback. The steel construction suits general industrial environments. Its compact body length and standard metric thread make it a straightforward drop-in for new builds or replacement in existing fixtures. No locking element is included, so the thread engagement itself provides retention in the tapped bore.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 metric thread for direct installation into a standard tapped hole
• Steel body and steel ball for durability in general industrial use
• 4.5 lb initial end force and 7.87 lb final end force for consistent detent performance
• 0.236 inch (6 mm) ball diameter with 0.079 inch maximum ball reach
• Compact 0.748 inch body length fits tight assemblies
• No locking element — thread engagement provides retention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M10 x 1.5 threaded ball plunger for use in machined fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring a spring-loaded steel ball detent.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped M10 x 1.5 through or blind hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner tool sized for the plunger body to thread it to the desired engagement depth. Ensure the bore is clean and free of chips or debris before installation. No power source or electrical isolation is required for this mechanical component.
