The plunger features a 3\/8-16 thread with a 0.625 inches thread length and a 0.186 inches maximum plunger diameter, delivering a 0.11 inches nose projection. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 5 pounds, making it well suited for applications requiring positive, repeatable positioning with controlled spring resistance. The steel body and steel nose construction provide durability in typical shop and industrial environments. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position, preventing backing out under vibration or repeated cycling. Installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine slides, and similar precision assemblies where a compact, stubby form factor is required. The 3\/8-16 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes in steel or aluminum plates. The locking element engages the threaded bore to hold the plunger at a set depth without the need for a separate jam nut. Typical applications include part-locating fixtures, detent mechanisms, and spring-loaded retention features in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby plunger body — 0.625 inches body length for compact, space-saving installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread with 0.625 inches thread length for installation in standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.186 inches maximum plunger diameter with 0.11 inches nose projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 pounds initial end force and 5 pounds final end force for controlled spring resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose for durability in industrial and tooling environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger depth without a jam nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling plates that accept a 3\/8-16 threaded spring plunger with a stubby body profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 3\/8-16 hole to the appropriate depth. Use a hex key or spanner wrench to thread the plunger into the bore and engage the locking element at the desired depth. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing spring plungers. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the locking element or distort the plunger body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.186 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\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: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\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: 0.05 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: SW10-6SL-PT-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697858707762,"sku":"SW10-6SL-PT-G","price":29.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/00d6a160cb8aca2f1f64246eb1ac8e03.jpg?v=1788355116","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sw10-6sl-pt-g-threaded-spring-plunger-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
