Gibraltar SW10-3FS-G Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-3FS-G is a short-style threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty retention applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger body and nose are both constructed from steel, providing durability in industrial and mechanical environments. It features a 10-32 thread size with a 9/16 inch thread length, a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches, and a 1/8 inch projection. Initial end force is 0.50 pounds and final end force is 5.00 pounds. This part is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians working with jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light assembly hardware.

The SW10-3FS-G is suited for applications requiring repeatable, spring-loaded positioning in tight spaces. The short plunger length and fine 10-32 thread make it appropriate for thin panels, fixture plates, and precision tooling where minimal projection and controlled end force are required. It does not include a locking element, making installation and removal straightforward in assemblies that need periodic adjustment or component swapping.

Key Features

• Steel body and steel nose construction for durability in mechanical service
• 10-32 thread size with 9/16 inch thread length for compact installation
• Short plunger style with 1/8 inch projection for low-profile applications
• 0.50 pound initial end force and 5.00 pound final end force for light-duty positioning
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches for precision fitment
• No locking element for easy installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring 10-32 threaded mounting and short-projection spring-loaded positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using an appropriate hex key or driver. Confirm thread engagement depth matches the 9/16 inch thread length before seating fully. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can restrict plunger movement or damage the spring mechanism. Verify plunger projection and end force requirements are compatible with the mating surface before finalizing installation.
