Vlier DBML10AN Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5

Product Description

The VLIER DBML10AN is a threaded ball plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light-duty detent applications. The plunger features an M10 x 1.5 threaded steel body with a zinc-plated finish and a nylon ball that provides smooth, low-friction engagement. The body measures 0.748 inches in length with a ball diameter of 0.236 inches and a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place once threaded into the receiving hole, preventing back-out under vibration or repeated cycling. Initial end force is 1.8 pounds and final end force is 3.37 pounds, making it suitable for light indexing and panel alignment tasks.

This ball plunger is used in industrial assembly fixtures, machine tooling, jigs, and equipment panels where repeatable positioning is required. The nylon ball is well suited for applications where softer contact is needed to avoid marring mating surfaces. It installs into any tapped M10 x 1.5 hole and is appropriate for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and automation assembly professionals working with light-load detent or registration functions.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 threaded steel body for secure installation in standard tapped holes
• Nylon ball provides low-friction, non-marring contact on mating surfaces
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general industrial environments
• Locking element prevents plunger back-out under vibration or repeated use
• 1.8 pound initial end force and 3.37 pound final end force for light detent applications
• Compact 0.748 inch body length suits tight installation envelopes

Compatibility

Designed for installation into any M10 x 1.5 tapped hole in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, or equipment housings requiring a light-duty ball plunger detent or positioning function.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped M10 x 1.5 through or blind hole in the receiving component. Use a hex wrench or appropriate driver to thread the plunger in; the locking element engages as the plunger is tightened to prevent loosening. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before installing or removing plungers in live assemblies. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the nylon ball or distort the body.
