The plunger threads into a tapped hole using a 5\/16-18 thread with a 5\/8 inch thread length. Once installed, the steel nose projects 3\/16 inches and delivers 0.5 pounds of initial end force, ramping up to 10 pounds of final end force under full compression. Both the body and nose are constructed from steel, making this plunger suitable for durable, repeatable use in fixtures, jigs, tooling, and positioning mechanisms. No locking element is present, allowing the plunger to be threaded in and out freely during setup or replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is suited for light industrial and mechanical applications where a consistent detent, stop, or positioning function is required. Typical installations include machine tool fixtures, assembly jigs, conveyor guides, and panel or drawer positioning hardware. The short plunger length classification makes it appropriate for installations with limited axial clearance. The 10 pound final end force rating provides firm, positive engagement without requiring heavy actuation loads, making it viable in both manual and automated positioning contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size with 5\/8 inch thread engagement length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch nose projection delivers controlled detent travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 10 pound final end force for firm, positive positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose construction for durability in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort plunger length type suits installations with limited axial clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element allows straightforward installation and removal without thread-locking tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any application requiring a 5\/16-18 tapped hole and short-body plunger geometry, including machine fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical positioning assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the SW10-5FS-G into a pre-tapped 5\/16-18 hole using an appropriate hex key or wrench on the body flats. Ensure the mating hole is clean and tapped to the correct depth before installation. Apply thread-locking compound only if required by the application, as no locking element is built into this plunger. Confirm the nose is free to travel without obstruction before returning the assembly to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.135 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SW10-5FS-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696987406642,"sku":"SW10-5FS-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2373c99f50fa79e5349df50e0e7bbac8.jpg?v=1788348142","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sw10-5fs-g-threaded-spring-plunger-5-16-18-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
