Gibraltar SSWN10-4SL-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-4SL-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty latch applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 1/4-20 thread with a 0.531-inch thread length and a stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The nylon nose protects mating surfaces from scoring or marring during repeated contact. With an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 3.5 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent, repeatable spring tension. A locking element is included to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration or cyclic loading. Machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and production tooling.

This spring plunger is suited for use in light industrial and precision mechanical applications where controlled positioning force and surface protection are required. The stubby plunger profile — with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.119 inches and a projection of 0.078 inches — fits in tight-clearance bores where standard-length plungers cannot seat properly. It is a practical choice for fixture building, panel assemblies, enclosure latching, and tooling alignment tasks across a wide range of industries.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Nylon nose protects mating surfaces from damage during repeated engagement
• Locking element prevents back-out under vibration or cyclic loading conditions
• Stubby plunger profile fits tight-clearance bores where standard plungers cannot seat
• 1 pound initial end force and 3.5 pound final end force provide consistent, repeatable positioning tension
• Standard 1/4-20 thread allows installation with common taps and threading tools

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for tapped 1/4-20 holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and tooling assemblies requiring a stubby plunger configuration.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex key or appropriate driver into a pre-tapped 1/4-20 hole; ensure threads are clean and free of debris before seating. Torque the plunger body until the locking element is fully engaged to prevent loosening under vibration. De-energize or fully power down any assembly before servicing spring plunger components in electrical enclosures or live panels. Do not exceed the rated final end force by over-compressing the plunger during installation.
