The body threads at M12 x 1.75 and measures 0.866 inches in body length. The steel ball has a diameter of 0.315 inches and a maximum ball reach of 0.098 inches. Initial end force is rated at 16.86 pounds, with a final end force of 25.85 pounds. Both the body and ball are constructed from steel for durability in industrial positioning and indexing applications. Licensed trades and mechanical assembly technicians install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and automated equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for light-duty positioning, detenting, and indexing tasks where a repeatable spring-loaded force is required. The M12 x 1.75 thread allows installation into standard metric-threaded bores. Its compact body length and controlled force range make it appropriate for use in machine tools, fixture plates, assembly jigs, and similar mechanical assemblies in manufacturing and industrial environments. The purple color code aids in identification and sorting among multiple plunger variants in a toolroom or maintenance setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM12 x 1.75 thread size for installation into standard metric bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel ball for durability in industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.315-inch ball diameter with 0.098-inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled end force range: 16.86 pounds initial to 25.85 pounds final\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.866-inch body length  -  smallest and lightest spring-loaded device class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple color code for quick field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for applications requiring an M12 x 1.75 threaded ball plunger with controlled spring-loaded end force in industrial and mechanical assembly equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel using standard metric hand tools. Ensure the receiving bore is properly tapped to M12 x 1.75 before installation. De-energize and lock out any machinery before installing or removing the plunger. Do not exceed the rated ball reach or apply side-loading forces beyond the plunger design limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M12 x 1.75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.86 pounds (75.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.85 pounds (115.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.315 inches (8.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.098 inches (2.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.866 inches (22.00 mm)\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: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VLIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMH12A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52018252611890,"sku":"BMH12A","price":15.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/55b5ee238003862644a3089d06b84424_2939367a-ca6a-43a3-8205-46fe076085b8.jpg?v=1790009979","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-bmh12a-threaded-ball-plunger-m12-x-1-75-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
