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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-4X-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, locating, and locking applications across a wide range of industrial and mechanical assemblies. The body is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, while the nose is steel. Thread size is 1/4-20 with a 3/4-inch thread length and a standard plunger projection of 0.125 inches. A built-in locking element keeps the plunger from backing out under vibration. Initial end force is 2 pounds and final end force is 9 pounds, making this unit suitable for moderate-duty holding and indexing tasks. Installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and precision tooling professionals.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and machinery where repeatable part positioning or detent action is needed. Its 1/4-20 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes in aluminum, steel, or plastic bodies. The compact 3/4-inch body length fits in tight assemblies with limited clearance. The stainless steel body makes it appropriate for environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. No compatibility with specific proprietary systems is stated by the manufacturer for this part.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Steel nose for durability at the contact point
• Locking element prevents unintended back-out under vibration
• 2-pound initial end force and 9-pound final end force for moderate-duty detent applications
• Standard 1/4-20 thread for installation into common tapped holes
• Compact 3/4-inch body length fits tight clearance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any assembly accepting a 1/4-20 tapped hole, including jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and general industrial machinery.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians using an appropriately sized hex wrench matching the 0.0781-inch hex drive. The receiving hole must be tapped to 1/4-20 before installation. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies containing spring plungers. Do not exceed the rated end forces, as overtorquing or overloading the plunger spring can reduce service life.
