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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-3SL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The all-steel body threads into a tapped hole using a standard 10-32 thread and provides a short, controlled projection to locate or retain a mating component. With an initial end force of 0.75 pounds and a final end force of 2.5 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent, repeatable spring action suited for panel assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and light-load retaining functions. The steel nose and body construction provide durability in typical industrial and equipment environments. This part is sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of one.

This spring plunger is intended for use in mechanical assemblies where precise positioning or low-force detent action is required. Its stubby profile and short 0.468-inch thread length make it a practical choice for shallow-threaded bosses and space-constrained housings. Typical applications include equipment panels, tool fixtures, door latches on enclosures, and component indexing in light-duty machinery. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and mechanical assemblers working on production equipment, HVAC unit housings, electrical enclosures, and similar fabricated assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-32 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stubby plunger length type at 0.468 inches for shallow-boss applications
• 0.065-inch plunger projection for low-profile detent or positioning action
• 0.75-pound initial end force and 2.5-pound final end force for consistent spring resistance
• Steel body and steel nose construction for durability in mechanical service environments
• No locking element — threads freely for straightforward installation and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for applications requiring a 10-32 thread size and a stubby-length body in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using an appropriate hex key or installation tool. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Power down and de-energize any assembly before servicing components in live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may deform the body or affect spring action.
