Gibraltar SSW10-1-G Threaded Spring Plunger 6-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-1-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 6-32 thread size with a 17/32 inch thread length and a stainless steel body for corrosion resistance. The plunger nose is steel, with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.045 inches and a 1/16 inch projection. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 4.5 pounds. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with precision mechanical components.

The SSW10-1-G is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies where a spring-loaded plunger is needed to hold position or provide repeatable detent action. Its compact 6-32 threaded body allows installation in tight clearance areas. The standard plunger length type and small projection make it appropriate for applications where minimal intrusion into a bore or channel is required. No locking element is included, making it a straightforward drop-in for threaded plunger locations.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 6-32 thread size with 17/32 inch thread length for secure installation
• 1.5 pound initial end force and 4.5 pound final end force for consistent spring performance
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.045 inches with 1/16 inch projection
• Steel nose material for durability at the contact point
• No locking element — simple threaded installation without additional retention hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring a standard 6-32 threaded spring plunger with a 17/32 inch thread length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 6-32 hole using an appropriate hex key or screwdriver fitting. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can compress the spring beyond its designed range and reduce end force performance. Always de-energize or depressurize the assembly before servicing any indexed or retained components.
