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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-1A-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexed positioning, detent, and light-duty retention applications in mechanical assemblies. The body and nose are both constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It features a 6-32 thread size with a 17/32-inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.045 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.5 pounds, making it suitable for light-load indexing and stop applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians typically install this component.

This spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, machine tool components, and precision mechanical assemblies where a small-profile, repeatable detent or stop point is required. The 1/16-inch plunger projection is appropriate for fine-tolerance work where minimal protrusion is needed. It is a standard-length plunger with no locking element, intended for installations where the plunger body is threaded directly into a tapped hole. Applications span light manufacturing, instrumentation, and general mechanical assembly in both production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments
• 6-32 thread size with 17/32-inch thread length for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• 0.045-inch maximum plunger diameter suits fine-tolerance and small-profile assemblies
• 1/16-inch plunger projection provides minimal but reliable detent engagement
• 0.5-pound initial end force and 1.5-pound final end force for light-duty indexing and retention
• No locking element — simplifies installation and removal without thread-locking compounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any tapped 6-32 threaded hole requiring a stainless steel body, standard-length plunger, and light-duty end force.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex key or spanner wrench sized for the plunger body. Thread the plunger into a properly tapped 6-32 hole and torque to the assembly specification for the host material. Ensure the mating surface or detent pocket aligns with the plunger nose before final seating. Do not overtighten, as this can distort the body and restrict plunger travel.
