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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-1X-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for light-duty indexing, positioning, and latching applications in mechanical assemblies. The body is constructed from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The plunger nose is steel and measures 0.045 inches in maximum diameter with a projection of 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch). The 6-32 thread runs the full 3/8-inch body length, allowing straightforward installation into tapped holes. Initial end force is 1 pound and final end force is 1.6 pounds, making this plunger suitable for light-tension detent and locating functions. It ships individually and is commonly installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers.

This spring plunger is used in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where a repeatable, spring-loaded detent or positioning point is needed. The 6-32 threaded body fits standard tapped holes in metal or plastic components. The standard-length plunger profile makes it appropriate for space-constrained applications where minimal projection is required. It is well suited to both prototype and production environments across general manufacturing, instrumentation, and light industrial assembly.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size with 3/8-inch thread length for easy installation in standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in humid or wash-down environments
• Steel nose rated at 0.045 inches maximum diameter and 0.0625-inch projection
• 1 pound initial end force and 1.6 pound final end force for light-duty detent applications
• Standard plunger length profile fits space-constrained assemblies
• No locking element — installs and adjusts with a hex wrench (0.035-inch hex size)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for any assembly requiring a 6-32 threaded spring plunger with standard projection and stainless steel body construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 6-32 hole using a 0.035-inch hex key. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of debris before installation. No locking element is included, so thread-locking compound may be applied if a fixed installation depth is required. Always verify plunger projection and end force values are appropriate for the assembly before finalizing installation.
