The plunger features a stainless steel body with a nylon ball and a locking element to secure it in place once installed. It accepts a 5-40 thread and has a body length of 0.25 inches. The ball diameter measures 0.062 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.02 inches. Initial end force is 0.25 pounds and final end force is 0.75 pounds. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with precision fixtures, jigs, or light-load indexing mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in compact mechanical assemblies where a small-profile, threaded detent or positioning element is required. The 5-40 thread size and 0.25-inch body length make it appropriate for tight-clearance applications. The nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating components, and the locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling. Typical applications include fixture plates, tooling boards, panel assemblies, and light-load positioning systems found in industrial and manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-40 thread size for compact, fine-thread installation in small assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon ball reduces surface damage to mating components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element secures the plunger against loosening from vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.02 inches maximum ball reach for controlled, low-profile detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.25 pounds and final end force of 0.75 pounds for consistent light-duty positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded ball plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5-40 thread, 0.25-inch body length, and a nylon ball with stainless steel body construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a standard screwdriver or hex key appropriate for the plunger head style. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to 5-40 specification before installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing this plunger. The locking element should be engaged to the manufacturer specification to prevent backing out during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\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 Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\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: SSWN10-12BP-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720377696562,"sku":"SSWN10-12BP-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/62c5b25dd6a1fe9cce98660a5e94cbfb.jpg?v=1788563003","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswn10-12bp-g-threaded-ball-plunger-5-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
