Gibraltar SSW10-3S-G Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-3S-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size with a thread length of 0.468 inches and a stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance. The plunger diameter measures 0.093 inches with a projection of 0.065 inches. Initial end force is 1.7 pounds and final end force is 6.2 pounds. This component is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians working on precision hardware and tooling fixtures.

The SSW10-3S-G is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or soft detent action is required. Its stubby plunger profile makes it appropriate for applications with limited clearance or shallow engagement depth. The all-stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments where moisture, cleaning agents, or mild chemical exposure is a concern, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and instrumentation assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Stubby plunger profile at 0.065 inches projection for shallow-clearance applications
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance
• 1.7 pounds initial end force and 6.2 pounds final end force for defined detent action
• No locking element - allows free adjustment or repositioning after installation
• Compact overall body length of 0.468 inches for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any application with a 10-32 tapped hole requiring light-force indexing or detent positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 10-32 tapped hole and is typically performed with a standard hex key or screwdriver depending on the drive style of the plunger body. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the plunger body or damage the spring mechanism. No locking element is included, so thread-locking compound may be applied if permanent positioning is required.
