The plunger features a No. 6-32 thread size with a 17\/32-inch thread length and a steel body with a Delrin nose. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.5 pounds, making it suited for light-duty spring-loaded retention tasks. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place after installation. Machinists, toolmakers, and assembly technicians install this type of component in jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is appropriate for light industrial applications requiring repeatable positioning or detent action. Typical installations include machine tool fixtures, alignment jigs, and mechanical panel assemblies where a small-diameter, standard-length plunger with a non-marring Delrin nose is required. The locking element eliminates the need for thread-locking compounds in most applications. Sold individually as a single-piece unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 6-32 thread size with 17\/32-inch thread and body length for compact installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for durability in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material resists marring on mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in locking element secures plunger position without adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pounds initial end force and 1.5 pounds final end force for light-duty detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 0.045 inches with 1\/16-inch projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-thread spring plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, and fixtures that accept a No. 6-32 threaded insert with a 17\/32-inch thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a hex key sized to the 1\/16-inch hex drive. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and correctly tapped to No. 6-32 specification before installation. The integrated locking element engages the threads during installation to resist back-out — no additional thread-locking compound is required. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the plunger body or locking element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 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: Delrin\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 57185G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694111162674,"sku":"57185G","price":47.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0207500487005c07d9df1af7a16fc16a.jpg?v=1788320385","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-57185g-threaded-spring-plunger-6-32-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
