Vlier DSBML10N Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5

Product Description

The VLIER DSBML10N is a threaded ball plunger with an M10 x 1.5 thread size, designed to provide controlled, spring-loaded positioning and detent action in mechanical assemblies. The body is constructed from stainless steel and houses a nylon ball with a 0.236 inch diameter and a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches. Initial end force measures 1.8 pounds and final end force measures 3.37 pounds, making this plunger suited for light-duty indexing, positioning, and latching applications. A built-in locking element secures the plunger body after installation. Mechanical assemblers, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener-family component.

The DSBML10N is used in machinery, fixtures, jigs, panels, and enclosures where repeatable detent positioning is required. Its M10 x 1.5 threaded body allows installation into standard tapped holes in metal or plastic housings. The nylon ball reduces wear on mating surfaces and makes this plunger appropriate for applications where steel-on-steel contact must be avoided. It is suitable for both light industrial and precision assembly environments.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 threaded body for installation in standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance
• Nylon ball reduces wear on delicate mating surfaces
• Locking element included to secure plunger position after installation
• Initial end force of 1.8 pounds and final end force of 3.37 pounds for controlled detent action
• Compact body length of 0.748 inches suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded ball plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring M10 x 1.5 tapped hole mounting with light-duty spring-loaded detent or positioning function.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped M10 x 1.5 hole in the receiving component. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner to thread the plunger body into place and engage the locking element to prevent back-out under vibration. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing this plunger. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the nylon ball or deform the locking element.
