It features an M10 x 1.5 thread with a steel body and steel ball, delivering an initial end force of 1.8 pounds and a final end force of 3.37 pounds. The ball diameter measures 0.236 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches and an overall body length of 0.748 inches. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position after installation. This is one of the smallest and lightest spring-loaded devices in its class, making it suitable for tight-tolerance, space-constrained installations performed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BML10AN is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, tooling, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable, low-force ball detent action is required. Its compact M10 x 1.5 threaded body allows installation in standard tapped holes, making it adaptable across a wide range of industrial and commercial manufacturing applications. The controlled end-force range supports consistent part positioning and indexing in light-duty assembly scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM10 x 1.5 threaded body for installation in standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel ball for durability in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 1.8 pounds; final end force of 3.37 pounds for controlled detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum ball reach of 0.079 inches suits tight-tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element locks plunger adjustment in place after setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body length of 0.748 inches fits space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any assembly or fixture accepting an M10 x 1.5 threaded ball plunger.

Use an appropriate wrench or driver to thread the plunger body into the tapped bore and tighten to engage the locking element before finalizing position. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of debris that could interfere with ball movement or seating. Follow applicable machine safety lockout procedures before servicing any assembly in which this plunger is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M10 x 1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.236 inches (6.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.079 inches (2.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.748 inches (19.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8 pounds (8.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.37 pounds (15.00 N)\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: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\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: VLIER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BML10AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971373629746,"sku":"BML10AN","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e3986d447a842b59675b8a0c02d5ca0a.jpg?v=1789956113","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-bml10an-threaded-ball-plunger-m10-x-1-5-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
