Vlier SBML10N Threaded Ball Plunger M10 X 1.5 Ss

Product Description

The VLIER SBML10N is a threaded ball plunger with an M10 x 1.5 thread size, designed for precision positioning, indexing, and light-duty detenting applications in industrial assemblies. The plunger body and ball are both stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The ball measures 0.236 inches in diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches and a body length of 0.748 inches. Initial end force is 1.8 pounds, rising to a final end force of 3.37 pounds, giving the plunger a defined spring-loaded engagement feel. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in the threaded bore after installation.

This ball plunger is suited for machine tool fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable detent positioning or part retention is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wash-down, food processing adjacent, or corrosive-environment applications. It installs directly into any M10 x 1.5 threaded hole. Typical users include machine builders, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with precision fixtures and indexing mechanisms.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 thread for direct installation into standard metric threaded bores
• Stainless steel body and ball for corrosion resistance
• 1.8 pound initial end force and 3.37 pound final end force for consistent spring-loaded detent action
• Maximum ball reach of 0.079 inches for controlled engagement depth
• Locking element included to prevent loosening after installation
• Compact body length of 0.748 inches suits tight-clearance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for installation into M10 x 1.5 threaded holes in metal fixtures, jigs, machine components, and precision assemblies requiring spring-loaded ball detent or positioning functions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly tapped M10 x 1.5 threaded hole in the mating component. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or servicing plungers in active assemblies. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner on the plunger body flats to thread in and torque to the assembly requirement. Engage the locking element per standard practice to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling.
