The steel body threads into a tapped hole using a standard 1\/4-20 thread, with a thread length of 0.531 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.119 inches. The nylon nose projects 0.078 inches and delivers an initial end force of 1 pound, building to a final end force of 3.5 pounds. A locking element is integrated into the body to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and mechanical assemblers commonly install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and precision positioning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger suits applications where repeatable, low-force detent or positioning action is needed in a compact envelope. The stubby body profile makes it appropriate for shallow installations or tight panel depths where a standard-length plunger body will not fit. Typical use cases include machine tool fixtures, assembly jigs, tooling plates, and any mechanical subassembly requiring a spring-loaded indexing or retention point. The nylon nose reduces marring on contact surfaces, making it a practical choice where surface finish on mating parts must be preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby plunger length type suits shallow or space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body provides durable threading and structural integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon nose minimizes marring on mating or contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents back-out under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 standard thread simplifies installation into common tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgressive spring force from 1 pound initial to 3.5 pounds final end force allows predictable detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded spring plunger for mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and positioning assemblies that accept a 1\/4-20 threaded spring plunger with a stubby body profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical assemblers or machinists using a hex key or spanner wrench appropriate for the body style. The mating component must have a properly tapped 1\/4-20 hole to the specified thread depth. Disengage or de-energize any powered equipment before installing or removing spring plungers in active assemblies. The locking element should be engaged to the manufacturer-specified torque range per standard mechanical fastener practice to prevent loosening during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.531 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.531 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.119 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.078 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.051 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SWN10-4SL-PT-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689949135154,"sku":"SWN10-4SL-PT-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf4ab0b2c75b010e7edfb02a8fe217bb.jpg?v=1788265552","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-4sl-pt-g-threaded-spring-plunger-1-4-20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
