Gibraltar SW10-1AP-G Threaded Spring Plunger 6-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-1AP-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty latching applications in mechanical assemblies. The steel body and steel nose provide durability in demanding industrial and maintenance environments. With a 6-32 thread size and a 17/32 inch thread length, this plunger installs into a tapped hole and uses spring tension to apply controlled end force. Initial end force is 0.50 pounds and final end force is 1.50 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger at the desired torque setting, preventing loosening from vibration. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the typical installers.

The SW10-1AP-G suits applications where a compact, low-profile spring plunger is required. The 1/16 inch plunger projection and 0.045 inch maximum plunger diameter make it appropriate for tight-tolerance assemblies where space is limited. Common use cases include fixture tooling, jig positioning, panel latching, and light mechanical detent applications across manufacturing, industrial equipment, and general mechanical maintenance settings. The standard plunger length type supports straightforward installation in most standard-depth tapped bores.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size with 17/32 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Steel body and steel nose for strength and wear resistance
• Locking element prevents plunger from backing out under vibration
• 0.50 pound initial end force and 1.50 pound final end force for light-duty detent control
• Compact 1/16 inch plunger projection suits tight-clearance assemblies
• 0.045 inch maximum plunger diameter for precision fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring a 6-32 threaded body with a standard plunger length configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 6-32 hole to the appropriate depth. Use a hex key or suitable driver matched to the plunger body drive feature and tighten to seat the locking element securely. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies containing spring plungers. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the locking element or distort the body threads.
