Vlier DSBMH10N Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5

Product Description

The VLIER DSBMH10N is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features an M10 x 1.5 thread form, a nylon ball measuring 0.236 inches in diameter, and a stainless steel body that is 0.748 inches in length. The locking element provides secure retention once the plunger is installed in the threaded bore. With an initial end force of 13.49 pounds and a final end force of 20.23 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent, repeatable force characteristics suited to precision positioning tasks. It is installed by mechanical assemblers, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with fixtures, jigs, and equipment panels.

This ball plunger is suited for use in industrial fixtures, machine tool assemblies, tooling plates, and equipment enclosures where a compact, threaded detent mechanism is required. The M10 x 1.5 thread size fits standard metric-tapped holes, making it compatible with a wide range of fabricated and manufactured assemblies in both production and maintenance environments. The nylon ball minimizes marring on contact surfaces, which is valuable in applications involving soft metals or finished workpieces.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 thread size for standard metric installation
• Nylon ball with 0.236 inch diameter for low-marring detent contact
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Integrated locking element secures the plunger body in the tapped bore
• Initial end force of 13.49 pounds and final end force of 20.23 pounds for predictable positioning force
• Maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches for controlled engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new installation for standard M10 x 1.5 threaded bores in industrial fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring a ball plunger detent.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped M10 x 1.5 through or blind hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner to thread the plunger body into the bore without over-driving, as doing so may damage the locking element or alter the ball reach. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Depressurize or de-energize any associated assembly before servicing existing plungers.
