It features an M6 x 1 thread with a 1mm pitch, a stainless steel body, and a nylon ball measuring 0.138 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.551 inches, and maximum ball reach is 0.039 inches. Initial end force is 2.02 pounds, with a final end force of 2.92 pounds. A locking element is included to secure the plunger at a set position. This part is installed by mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians working on positioning, indexing, and detent applications in light industrial and precision equipment environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DSBM6P is suited for applications requiring repeatable, controlled end force in compact mechanical assemblies. The nylon ball minimizes surface marking on mating components, making it appropriate for use against sensitive or finished surfaces. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in environments where moisture or cleaning agents are present. Typical install scenarios include jigs, fixtures, tooling, and machine tool components where a low-profile threaded plunger is needed to provide positive positioning or detent action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6 x 1 thread with 1mm pitch for compatibility with standard metric threaded bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon ball resists marring on contact surfaces and reduces friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element included to hold plunger at desired depth after adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled end force: 2.02 pounds initial, 2.92 pounds final\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at 0.551 inches body length with 0.039 inches maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for metric M6 x 1 threaded bores in precision mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and indexing applications requiring controlled end force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped M6 x 1 threaded bore in the mating component. Ensure the bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is set to the desired depth to prevent loosening from vibration. Avoid over-torquing, as the stainless steel body can gall in certain mating materials without appropriate thread preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6 x 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.138 inches (3.50mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.551 inches (14.00mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches (1.00mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.02 pounds (9.00 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.92 pounds (13.00 N)\u003c\/li\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\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Controlled End Force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: DSBM6P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VLIER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52114741231922,"sku":"DSBM6P","price":15.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/55b5ee238003862644a3089d06b84424_9fe6a0e0-bb39-415b-a748-38268f4029d1.jpg?v=1790079284","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vlier-dsbm6p-threaded-ball-plunger-m6-x-1-locking","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
