Gibraltar SSW10-4SL-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-4SL-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/4-20 thread size with a thread length of 0.531 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.119 inches. Projection measures 0.078 inches. Both the body and nose are constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. A locking element is incorporated into the design to secure the plunger in position once installed. Initial end force is 1 pound and final end force is 3.5 pounds, making this part appropriate for applications requiring controlled, repeatable detent action.

This spring plunger is suited for use in industrial machinery, fixtures, jigs, and precision mechanical assemblies where a compact, threaded plunger is required. The stubby plunger length type makes it a practical choice in space-constrained installations. It is typically installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals working on mechanical fixtures or production equipment. The stainless steel construction makes it well suited for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 threaded spring plunger replacement or new installation component for mechanical fixtures, jigs, and assemblies requiring stubby-style plunger detent hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a hex key or appropriate driver matched to the plunger body. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Disengage and de-energize any moving components in the assembly before servicing or replacing spring plungers. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the locking element or damage the threaded bore.
