The plunger features a 5\/16-18 thread with a 5\/8 inch thread length and a steel body for durability under repeated cycling. The Delrin nose provides a low-friction, non-marring contact point suitable for use against finished or delicate surfaces. With an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 10 pounds, this plunger delivers controlled resistance across its 3\/16 inch projection range. No locking element is included, making installation and removal straightforward in standard threaded housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine components where repeatable part location or light detent action is required. The compact short-length profile fits tight-clearance applications in both production and maintenance environments. The Delrin nose minimizes wear on mating surfaces, making it a practical choice for assemblies where metal-to-metal contact is undesirable. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically install this type of hardware during fixture builds or equipment refurbishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 thread size with 5\/8 inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort plunger length type fits tight-clearance fixture and tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for resistance to wear and deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces friction and prevents marring of contact surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 10 pound final end force for controlled detent resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element for simplified installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install threaded spring plunger for any application with a standard 5\/16-18 tapped hole requiring short-projection detent or locating function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a hex key or appropriately sized driver in the threaded head slot, torquing into the tapped hole by hand until fully seated. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid thread damage. No special tools or trade licensing are required, though proper thread engagement depth should be verified to achieve rated end force. Confirm clearance for the 3\/16 inch plunger projection before finalizing the assembly design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.135 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\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: Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: SWN10-5FS-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714499248434,"sku":"SWN10-5FS-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/499b73e2be8a0d07f13b55969df080a9_e2c9c975-f680-478f-a227-38ce731d4db1.jpg?v=1788502346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-5fs-g-threaded-spring-plunger-5-16-18-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
