The body measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.1 inches in length, with a passivated finish for corrosion resistance. Initial end force is 4 pounds and final end force is 9 pounds, giving this plunger a defined spring-loaded engagement range suited for repeatable positioning tasks. A flanged body design aids in positive seating during press installation. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and assembly technicians are the primary installers of this fastener-class component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light-duty mechanical assemblies where a spring-loaded nylon ball provides soft, low-friction detent or positioning action. The press fit body installs directly into a drilled bore without threads, making it suitable for applications where a clean, flush-mount installation is required. The flanged design prevents the plunger from being pushed through the bore during installation or service. Typical applications include panel positioning, drawer alignment, and component staging in manufacturing or maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body with passivated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball provides low-friction, soft-contact detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress fit installation into a drilled bore — no threading required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlanged body at 0.688 inches flange diameter prevents blow-through during press installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring force range from 4 pounds initial to 9 pounds final end force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall reach of 0.161 inches and ball diameter of 0.312 inches for consistent engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a press fit replacement or new-installation ball plunger for jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a flanged, non-threaded detent component with a nylon ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by pressing the plunger body into a precision-drilled bore sized to the 0.5-inch body diameter using an arbor press or similar controlled-force tool. Ensure the bore depth and diameter are machined to specification before installation to achieve proper flange seating. No adhesives or locking elements are incorporated in this design, so bore fit tolerance is critical to retention. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies containing this component.\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: 0.5 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\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.312 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\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eLength Under Flange\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1 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: 0.06 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: SSWPFN10-8BL-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692475679026,"sku":"SSWPFN10-8BL-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/06286e19f230774361b63b1ce42cf31e.jpg?v=1788298078","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswpfn10-8bl-g-press-fit-ball-plunger-0-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
