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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-1AP-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The body and nose are both machined from stainless steel, making this plunger suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is required. The 6-32 threaded shank installs into a tapped hole and provides a spring-loaded nose that projects 1/16 inch beyond the seating surface. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.5 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position after installation, preventing loosening from vibration. This plunger is standard length, with a body and thread length of 17/32 inch and a maximum nose diameter of 0.045 inch.

This plunger is used in light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or detent action is needed. Common applications include jig and fixture work, panel assemblies, machine tool setups, and precision equipment where a small spring-loaded point must engage a detent or recess. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for clean-room adjacent environments, washdown-tolerant assemblies, or any application where carbon steel would be unsuitable. Installers typically press this plunger into service using standard hand tools to thread it into a pre-tapped 6-32 hole.

Key Features

• 6-32 threaded shank for installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance
• 1/16 inch nose projection with 0.045 inch maximum nose diameter
• 0.5 pound initial end force and 1.5 pound final end force
• Built-in locking element prevents loosening under vibration
• Standard plunger length with 17/32 inch thread and body length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for any mechanical assembly requiring a 6-32 threaded spring plunger with standard 17/32 inch length and a locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-tapped 6-32 hole in the mating component. Thread the plunger in by hand, then tighten with an appropriate hex key or driver until the locking element engages. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before working in the assembly area. Do not overtighten, as the locking element is designed to hold position without excessive torque.
