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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-3SP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. Featuring a 10-32 thread size with a 0.468-inch thread length and a 0.093-inch maximum plunger diameter, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 1.70 pounds and a final end force of 6.20 pounds. The steel body provides structural rigidity while the nylon nose reduces wear on mating surfaces and minimizes marring. A locking element is incorporated to secure the plunger in position once installed, preventing back-out under vibration or repeated cycling. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this component.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or controlled detent action is required. Its stubby plunger length type makes it appropriate for space-constrained applications where a standard-length plunger would not fit. The nylon nose is compatible with applications where contact with softer or finished surfaces must be protected from damage. It is sold individually and is suitable for low-volume prototype work as well as production line tooling.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size with 0.468-inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Stubby plunger profile at 0.065-inch projection for space-constrained assemblies
• Steel body construction for durability and thread integrity
• Nylon nose reduces surface marring on mating components
• Built-in locking element prevents back-out under vibration
• 1.70-pound initial end force and 6.20-pound final end force for light detent applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies, jigs, and fixtures requiring a 10-32 threaded spring plunger with a stubby plunger profile.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 10-32 hole in the receiving component. Thread the plunger in using the appropriate hex key or spanner tool and tighten to engage the locking element, preventing rotation after final positioning. Ensure the bore depth accommodates the full 0.468-inch thread length without bottoming out prematurely. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers.
