Gibraltar SSWN10-4B-PT-G Threaded Ball Plunger 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-4B-PT-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a stainless steel body with a 1/4-20 thread size and a nylon ball measuring 0.125 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.531 inches, with a maximum ball reach of 0.035 inches. Initial end force is 3 pounds and final end force is 7 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place after installation. This component is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and precision mechanical assemblies.

This ball plunger fits standard 1/4-20 threaded holes and is suited for use in light-duty detent and positioning applications across industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments. The nylon ball reduces the risk of surface marring on softer mating materials. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in washdown or humid service conditions. Color code is purple for quick identification during assembly or inventory management.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Nylon ball construction minimizes surface damage to mating components
• 1/4-20 thread size for broad compatibility with standard threaded holes
• Built-in locking element prevents loosening after installation
• 3 pound initial end force and 7 pound final end force for controlled detent action
• Compact body length of 0.531 inches suits tight-clearance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in any mechanical assembly with a standard 1/4-20 threaded hole requiring a light-duty ball plunger for indexing or positioning functions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 1/4-20 threaded hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex key or driver compatible with the plunger head style. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the locking element or deform the thread engagement.
