The flanged body measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 0.0471 inches in body length, with a stainless steel ball that extends up to 0.07 inches at maximum reach. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds, with a final end force of 3.5 pounds, making it suited for applications requiring a consistent, repeatable tactile detent. Both the body and ball are stainless steel with a passivated finish for corrosion resistance. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of hardware in fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is press fit into a mating bore and relies on the flanged design to control insertion depth. The flange diameter is 0.312 inches and the flange thickness is 0.045 inches, with a length under flange of 0.471 inches. It is used in light industrial, manufacturing, and OEM equipment applications where a non-locking, spring-loaded detent point is required. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or cleanliness requirements such as food processing adjacent equipment or medical device assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body and ball with passivated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress fit installation — no threading required, seats directly into a bored hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlanged design controls insertion depth; flange diameter 0.312 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 lb initial force and 3.5 lb final force for consistent detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.07 inches suits shallow detent groove applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-locking spring element allows free ball movement without retention lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a press fit flanged ball plunger for installation into machined bores sized to accept a 0.25-inch diameter body; verify bore tolerance and fit class before installation to ensure proper retention and detent force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by pressing the plunger body into a precision-machined bore using a press or arbor press — do not hammer directly on the ball or flange face. Verify bore diameter and depth match the body and under-flange dimensions prior to pressing. No threading or adhesive is required, but interference fit tolerances must be correct to maintain rated end forces. This hardware is typically installed by machinists or mechanical assemblers working with fixtures, tooling, or OEM equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Passivate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0471 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Flange\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.471 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.312 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 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: SSWPF10-4BL-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715579674930,"sku":"SSWPF10-4BL-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c5fc708bed019e928a212b6bdd59ca8_232de982-d448-4d71-a94e-3f4b75dbc7ab.jpg?v=1788515885","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswpf10-4bl-g-ss-press-fit-ball-plunger-0-25in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
