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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-6AFS-PT-G is a short-pattern threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty latching applications in mechanical assemblies. The steel body accepts a 3/8-16 thread and provides 11/16 inches of thread engagement length. The Delrin nose measures 0.186 inches in diameter with a 3/16-inch projection stroke. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds, and final end force is 7.5 pounds. A locking element is included to secure the plunger against backing out under vibration. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of hardware in fixtures, jigs, and machine frames.

This spring plunger is suited for use in metal fabrication fixtures, assembly tooling, and equipment panels where repeatable detent positioning is required. The short plunger length type makes it appropriate for applications with limited clearance behind the mounting surface. The steel body provides durability in industrial environments, while the Delrin nose reduces wear on mating surfaces and minimizes marring of finished workpieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 thread size with 11/16-inch thread length for secure installation in standard tapped holes
• 1.5 lb initial end force and 7.5 lb final end force for positive detent feel
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial and mechanical environments
• Delrin nose resists wear and prevents marring of contact surfaces
• Locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration
• Short plunger length type for installations with limited rear clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for standard 3/8-16 tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and industrial equipment assemblies requiring light-duty indexing or latching.

Installation Notes

Install using a wrench or hex key appropriate to the plunger head style into a properly tapped 3/8-16 hole. Ensure the mounting surface threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Engage the locking element after positioning to prevent loosening from vibration. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the Delrin nose or distort the spring mechanism.
