Gibraltar SWN10-6A-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 3/8-16

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-6A-PT-G is a standard threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, spring-loaded pressure in mechanical assemblies and fixturing applications. Featuring a 3/8-16 thread size with a 1-1/8 inch thread length, the plunger delivers an initial end force of 2.8 pounds and a final end force of 7.2 pounds. The steel body provides structural durability, while the nylon nose protects mating surfaces from marring. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed, preventing loosening from vibration or repeated cycling. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals commonly install this type of component.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where repeatable, consistent positioning force is required. The nylon nose makes it appropriate for applications where metal-on-metal contact must be avoided, such as locating delicate workpieces or indexing components. Its standard plunger length type and compact profile fit a wide range of production and maintenance shop applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style threaded spring plunger for use in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and precision assembly equipment requiring 3/8-16 threaded installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical and tool and die technicians using a hex key or spanner wrench appropriate for the plunger body. Ensure the receiving threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to 3/8-16 before installation. Engage the locking element fully to prevent back-out during operation. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers.
