Gibraltar SWN10-3P-G Threaded Spring Plunger 10-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-3P-G is a standard threaded spring plunger designed for light-duty positioning, indexing, and detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The body is machined from steel and features a nylon nose, providing corrosion resistance at the contact point while maintaining a rigid mounting structure. It threads into a tapped hole using a 10-32 thread and delivers an initial end force of 2.9 pounds and a final end force of 11.1 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed, preventing loosening from vibration. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals install this type of hardware component.

This spring plunger fits applications requiring a compact, positive-stop or detent mechanism in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies. The 10-32 thread and 3/4 inch thread length make it suitable for medium-thickness panels and housings. The nylon nose protects delicate mating surfaces from scoring or galling during repeated contact. It is appropriate for use in both light industrial and bench-top assembly environments where controlled spring force and repeatable positioning are required.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body with 3/4 inch thread length for secure panel mounting
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial assembly applications
• Nylon nose minimizes wear and protects mating contact surfaces
• Locking element locks plunger position against vibration-induced loosening
• 2.9 pound initial end force and 11.1 pound final end force for controlled detent action
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.092 inches for precision fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 10-32 threaded spring plunger with a 3/4 inch thread length and locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped 10-32 hole of sufficient depth to accept the full 3/4 inch thread length. A hex wrench or appropriate driver should be used to engage the locking element and torque the plunger into the tapped hole without cross-threading the nylon-nosed tip. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before installing or servicing hardware components in live assemblies. Confirm plunger projection clearance before final installation to ensure proper detent or positioning function.
