The steel body houses a Delrin nose and an integrated locking element that secures the plunger in the threaded bore once installed. It delivers an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 12 pounds, making it suitable for applications where controlled, repeatable spring pressure is required. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians install this type of component in jigs, fixtures, slides, and similar precision mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in industrial and mechanical assembly environments where a threaded, spring-loaded positioning element is needed in a compact form factor. The short plunger length type suits installations with limited depth clearance. Its 3\/8-16 thread size is a common unified coarse thread, compatible with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials found in fixture and tooling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body construction for durability in industrial service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelrin nose material reduces friction and wear on mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element secures plunger position after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 pound initial end force and 12 pound final end force for controlled spring pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort plunger length type for use in confined or shallow-bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 unified coarse thread with 11\/16 inch thread length for positive engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for standard 3\/8-16 tapped holes in jigs, fixtures, slides, and mechanical positioning assemblies requiring a short-body, locking-style plunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by toolmakers or mechanical assembly technicians using a standard hex wrench or spanner tool appropriate for the plunger head style. The receiving bore must be tapped to 3\/8-16 and cleaned of chips or debris before threading the plunger in. Torque to snug engagement without overdriving, as over-tightening can damage the locking element or deform the body. De-energize or lock out any associated moving machinery before servicing plungers in active fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.186 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: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 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: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\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: SWN10-6FS-PT-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699496714546,"sku":"SWN10-6FS-PT-G","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/78b5d0dd0ccdeb28b125acefcc9c89df.jpg?v=1788376461","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-6fs-pt-g-threaded-spring-plunger-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
