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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-3SLP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a 10-32 thread size with a 0.468 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.093 inches. The plunger projection measures 0.065 inches, delivering an initial end force of 0.75 pounds and a final end force of 2.5 pounds. The steel body provides durability in production and maintenance environments, while the nylon nose reduces marring on mating surfaces. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position once installed. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or soft detent action is required. The stubby body length makes it practical in space-constrained housings or thin panels where a standard-length plunger would not fit. Its 10-32 threaded body allows installation into pre-tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or plastic components commonly found in industrial and OEM manufacturing applications.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size with 0.468 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Stubby plunger length type for use in space-constrained assemblies
• Nylon nose minimizes surface damage on mating components
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial environments
• Locking element included to prevent back-out after installation
• 0.75 pound initial end force and 2.5 pound final end force for light-duty detent action

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for applications requiring a 10-32 tapped hole and a stubby plunger profile in jigs, fixtures, or light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 10-32 hole using the appropriate hex key or screwdriver drive. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged to prevent loosening under vibration. No power source or shutoff is required for this mechanical fastener component.
