Gibraltar SWN10-3AFSP-G Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-3AFSP-G is a short-body threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, spring-loaded positioning and indexing in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size with a 9/16 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.3 pounds and a final end force of 3 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty holding and detent applications. The steel body provides durability, while the Delrin nose reduces wear on mating surfaces. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position once installed. Typically installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, or precision equipment builders.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, machine tool components, and other precision mechanical assemblies requiring a repeatable detent or positioning action. The short plunger length type makes it appropriate for installations with limited axial clearance. The 10-32 thread is a standard unified fine thread, compatible with threaded bores found in a wide range of light industrial and instrumentation hardware.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size with 9/16 inch thread length for standard unified fine thread installations
• Short plunger length type for use in space-constrained assemblies
• 0.093 inch maximum plunger diameter with 1/8 inch projection
• Initial end force of 0.3 pounds and final end force of 3 pounds for light-duty detent applications
• Steel body construction for mechanical durability
• Delrin nose material reduces wear on contact surfaces
• Locking element included to prevent loosening under vibration or repeated cycling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 threaded spring plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and precision equipment with appropriately tapped bores accepting a 10-32 unified fine thread.

Installation Notes

Install using a screwdriver or hex key appropriate for the plunger head style into a properly tapped 10-32 threaded bore. Ensure the bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Engage the locking element per the manufacturer process to prevent back-out during service. Do not overtighten, as the steel body and threaded bore can be damaged if torque is excessive.
