It features a 6-40 threaded body machined from stainless steel, with a nylon ball that provides smooth, low-friction contact against mating surfaces. The body measures 0.312 inches in length with a maximum ball reach of 0.023 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1 pound, making this plunger suited for light-duty holding and locating tasks. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position once adjusted. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and precision assembly professionals are the typical installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or soft detent action is required. The small 6-40 thread size and compact 0.312-inch body length make it appropriate for tight-clearance applications in instrument panels, small assemblies, and precision fixtures. The nylon ball minimizes marring on delicate mating surfaces. The purple color code assists with quick identification during assembly or inventory management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-40 threaded body for installation in standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball reduces surface marring on soft or finished mating materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.023-inch maximum ball reach delivers precise, controlled detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger depth after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurple color code supports fast visual identification in multi-plunger assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for any application requiring a 6-40 tapped hole, including jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical positioning assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger into a 6-40 tapped hole using a hex key or appropriate drive tool. Ensure the mating hole is clean and properly tapped to the correct depth before installation. Engage the locking element once the desired ball protrusion depth is set to prevent rotation or back-out during service. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and thread engagement requirements specific to the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.312 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.023 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: SSWN10-1BP-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694235681074,"sku":"SSWN10-1BP-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4be7ce29a549855720e005559b7ec5c8.jpg?v=1788321996","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswn10-1bp-g-threaded-ball-plunger-6-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
