It features a stainless steel body with a 3\/8-16 thread and a nylon ball measuring 0.188 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.625 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.048 inches. Initial end force is 5 pounds and final end force is 10 pounds, making it suitable for low-force positioning tasks. This plunger installs into threaded holes in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machinery components. It is commonly specified by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial equipment builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in light-duty positioning and detent applications across industrial, commercial, and trade equipment settings. The nylon ball provides non-marring contact, making it appropriate for use against finished surfaces, soft metals, or plastic components. Typical installations include tooling fixtures, drawer or panel retention systems, and equipment positioning guides where repeatable, low-force indexing is needed. The 3\/8-16 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes without special tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball provides non-marring contact against finished or soft surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread fits standard tapped holes for straightforward installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 pound initial end force and 10 pound final end force for light-duty detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.048 inches suits shallow detent groove designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element allows removal and repositioning without thread damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded ball plunger replacement or new installation for any application requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded body with a 0.625 inch body length and nylon ball contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 3\/8-16 threaded hole in the mating component. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or replacing plungers in active equipment. Use a hex wrench or appropriate driver on the body hex feature to thread the plunger in to the desired depth. Avoid overtightening, as this can deform the nylon ball or restrict ball travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.188 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.048 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 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: No\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\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: SSWN10-6B-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723778195762,"sku":"SSWN10-6B-G","price":15.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4be7ce29a549855720e005559b7ec5c8_e6323cd5-806f-477a-8ecf-1cd249602025.jpg?v=1788607970","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswn10-6b-g-threaded-ball-plunger-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
