It features a 10-32 thread size with a 3\/4-inch thread length and a steel body with an integrated locking element that secures the plunger in position once installed. The plunger projects 1\/8 inch and has a maximum plunger diameter of 0.092 inches. Initial end force is 2.9 pounds and final end force is 11.1 pounds, providing consistent spring-loaded engagement across the operating range. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, and precision machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 57004G is suited for residential and industrial mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or light retention is required. Typical applications include machine fixtures, assembly jigs, and tooling components where a threaded, spring-loaded plunger is needed to hold or index a moving part. The steel body and nose construction make it appropriate for metal-to-metal contact environments. The locking element keeps the plunger body fixed in the tapped hole, preventing back-out from vibration or repeated actuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 thread size with 3\/4-inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and nose material for durability in metal contact applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents back-out under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch plunger projection for controlled engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.9-pound initial end force and 11.1-pound final end force for consistent spring-loaded retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/16-inch hex size for installation with a hex key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any tapped 10-32 hole requiring a spring-loaded indexing or positioning element in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, or tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger body into a tapped 10-32 hole using a 1\/16-inch hex key. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and correctly tapped to the specified thread size before installation. The locking element engages during installation to resist loosening; avoid over-torquing, which can damage the locking feature or distort the plunger body. Confirm plunger projection and spring force are appropriate for the application before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.092 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57004G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704092098866,"sku":"57004G","price":18.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/03283ddd010501f8cc6ac0030d94cb4e.jpg?v=1788420549","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-57004g-threaded-spring-plunger-10-32-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
