The body is machined from stainless steel with a passivated finish, and the ball is nylon, measuring 0.312 inches in diameter. The plunger installs by pressing the flanged body into a drilled hole, eliminating the need for threading. Initial end force is 5 pounds and final end force is 14 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty detent and indexing work. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger fits applications where a threaded installation is not practical or desired. The flanged design seats against a mating surface to control insertion depth and resist axial pullout. Common use cases include machine tool fixtures, jigs, drawer slides, panel assemblies, and any mechanism requiring repeatable tactile positioning. The passivated stainless steel body offers corrosion resistance in light wash-down or humid environments. The nylon ball reduces marring on soft mating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress fit installation — no threading required, installs into a plain drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body with passivated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball reduces surface marring on soft or coated mating parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlange design controls insertion depth and resists pullout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 pound initial force and 14 pound final force for light-duty detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 0.375 inches body diameter, 0.0786 inches body length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a press fit ball plunger for use in mechanical fixtures, jigs, machine tool assemblies, and similar indexing or positioning applications requiring a flanged, non-threaded body style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires pressing the plunger body into a correctly sized drilled hole using an arbor press or similar controlled-force tool — do not strike the ball or flange directly with a hammer. Verify hole diameter against the 0.375 inch body dimension to achieve proper press fit retention before pressing to full depth. The flange seats flush against the mating surface to set final depth automatically. No thread engagement or adhesive is required, but the hole bore finish and diameter tolerance are critical to retention force.\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: Nylon\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: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0786 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.312 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Flange\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.786 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 0.05 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: SSWPFN10-6B-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722624172338,"sku":"SSWPFN10-6B-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c5fc708bed019e928a212b6bdd59ca8_5097132e-01cb-40cc-bd68-404c7a9bd1aa.jpg?v=1788593662","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswpfn10-6b-g-press-fit-ball-plunger-0-375-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
