Gibraltar SSW10-6-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 3/8-16

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-6-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 3/8-16 thread with a 1-1/8 inch thread length and a stainless steel body for corrosion resistance. The spring-loaded nose delivers an initial end force of 5.5 pounds and a final end force of 14.5 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-load retention tasks. The plunger projects 3/16 inches (0.1875 inches decimal) with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.186 inches. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position after installation. This component is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians in production and MRO settings.

This spring plunger is used in fixtures, jigs, dies, and machine components where repeatable part positioning or detent action is required. The stainless steel body suits environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. The standard plunger length type makes it a straightforward fit for general-purpose threaded housings. The 1/8 inch hex drive allows installation and torque adjustment with common hex key tooling. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.
