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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-3SP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for precise, repeatable positioning and indexing in mechanical assemblies. Featuring a 10-32 thread and a steel body with a steel nose, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 1.7 pounds and a final end force of 6.2 pounds. The locking element secures the plunger body in place once installed, preventing rotation or back-out under vibration. With a compact 0.468-inch thread length and a 0.093-inch maximum plunger diameter, the SW10-3SP-G fits tight spaces where standard-length plungers cannot. It is intended for installation by maintenance technicians, tool-and-die professionals, and mechanical assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.

This spring plunger is suited for light-duty positioning applications in manufacturing fixtures, assembly jigs, machine tool components, and industrial equipment where a low-profile, threaded indexing element is required. The stubby form factor makes it appropriate for shallow-depth threaded bosses and close-tolerance panel assemblies. The steel body and nose construction provide durability in general industrial environments.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body with 0.468-inch thread length for secure installation in standard tapped holes
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in general industrial applications
• Integrated locking element prevents back-out and rotation after installation
• 1.7-pound initial end force and 6.2-pound final end force for controlled indexing resistance
• Stubby plunger length type for low-profile and shallow-depth installations
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches with 0.065-inch projection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in tapped 10-32 holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, and industrial assemblies requiring a stubby steel plunger with a locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a prepared 10-32 tapped hole using an appropriate driver or wrench. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is positioned at the correct depth to prevent loosening during operation. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the spring mechanism or distort the plunger body.
