It features a 5\/8-11 thread, a 0.375-inch nylon ball, and a zinc-plated steel body measuring 0.984 inches in body length. The nylon ball delivers a maximum reach of 0.096 inches with an initial end force of 7 pounds and a final end force of 50 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place once installed. This component is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with jigs, fixtures, and machine tool assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in industrial and manufacturing environments where repeatable positioning or spring-loaded detent action is required. Common applications include fixture plates, tooling bodies, sliding mechanisms, and panel assemblies. The nylon ball reduces surface marring on softer workpieces or mating components. The zinc-plated steel body offers corrosion resistance in general shop environments. The purple color code aids in quick visual identification during assembly and maintenance operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 threaded body for direct installation into tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.375-inch nylon ball minimizes surface damage on mating parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 7 pounds and final end force of 50 pounds for reliable detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.096 inches for controlled engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in locking element prevents unintended back-out after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated steel body for corrosion resistance in general industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install threaded ball plunger for any application requiring a 5\/8-11 tapped hole and spring-loaded ball detent or positioning function in mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a standard hex wrench or spanner appropriate for the body size. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. The built-in locking element engages upon final seating to resist back-out; do not over-torque, as excessive force can damage the nylon ball or locking element. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing components in the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.096 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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  \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: SWN10-10HYZ-PTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692489539890,"sku":"SWN10-10HYZ-PTG","price":15.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ebfdafba0ec1b3be955385b14ecb7384.jpg?v=1788298344","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-10hyz-ptg-threaded-ball-plunger-5-8-11","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
