The body measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.1 inches in length, with a flanged design that seats flush against the mounting surface for secure, repeatable installation. The passivated stainless steel construction on both the body and ball provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With an initial end force of 4 pounds and a final end force of 9 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent spring-loaded engagement suitable for precision assembly fixtures, tooling, and machine components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical assembly applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant detent or positioning element is required. The press fit installation method makes it appropriate for use in pre-drilled holes in metal fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and tooling plates. The flanged body provides positive axial stop during press-in, eliminating the need for additional retention hardware. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers in both production and MRO settings.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlanged body with 0.688 inch flange diameter provides positive axial stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.161 inches for controlled detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 4 pounds, final end force of 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 0.5 inch body diameter, 1.1 inch body length, 0.11 inch flange thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard press fit ball plunger suitable for pre-drilled mounting holes in metal tooling, fixture plates, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies requiring a spring-loaded detent or positioning element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress fit ball plungers are installed by pressing the body into a close-tolerance hole using an arbor press or similar controlled-force equipment — do not drive with an impact tool, as this can damage the internal spring or ball seat. Verify hole diameter matches the 0.5 inch body diameter tolerance specification before installation. De-burr the mounting hole and ensure the mating surface is clean and free of chips. Once pressed to the flange, the plunger is not intended to be removed and reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Flange\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.161 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.688 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Passivate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: SSWPF10-8BL-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711749226802,"sku":"SSWPF10-8BL-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c5fc708bed019e928a212b6bdd59ca8_75f9c651-09be-4d6e-a6e7-f17dd0eec925.jpg?v=1788479175","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswpf10-8bl-g-press-fit-ball-plunger-0-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
