Gibraltar SSWN10-3SLP-G Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-3SLP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size with a 0.468-inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger nose is nylon, which allows smooth engagement against mating surfaces without marring. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. A built-in locking element holds the plunger in its installed position, preventing loosening under vibration. This component is installed by mechanical assemblers, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on jigs, fixtures, and precision equipment.

The SSWN10-3SLP-G is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies where positive detent or positioning action is required. The stubby profile makes it appropriate for applications with limited axial space. Initial end force is 0.75 pounds and final end force is 2.5 pounds, making it suitable for low-force indexing and soft-stop positioning. It is commonly used in fixture plates, enclosure panels, drawer guides, and similar assemblies where repeatable engagement is needed without permanent fastening.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for standard tapped-hole installation
• Stubby plunger length of 0.468 inches for space-constrained assemblies
• Nylon nose material for non-marring contact with mating surfaces
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Built-in locking element resists back-out under vibration
• 0.75 lb initial end force and 2.5 lb final end force for light-duty indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use in any mechanical assembly with a tapped 10-32 hole requiring a spring-loaded plunger or detent mechanism.

Installation Notes

Install into a properly tapped 10-32 through or blind hole using an appropriate hex key or spanner tool. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of chips before threading in the plunger. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the locking element or distort the stainless steel body. Confirm plunger projection and spring force are appropriate for the intended detent load before finalizing installation.
