Gibraltar MSSW10-4-G Threaded Spring Plunger M6 X 1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSSW10-4-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The body and nose are both stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The M6 x 1.00 external thread allows direct installation into tapped bores. Initial end force is 4.05 pounds and final end force is 11.24 pounds, making this plunger suitable for light-duty holding and positive-stop functions. Thread length measures 0.787 inches, maximum plunger diameter is 0.106 inches, and plunger projection is 0.098 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers typically install this component in fixtures, jigs, and production tooling.

This spring plunger fits residential and industrial assembly applications where a compact, metric-threaded detent or positioning element is required. The standard plunger length configuration makes it appropriate for general-purpose fixture work, workholding equipment, and precision mechanical devices where consistent spring force and reliable projection are needed. No locking element is included, so the plunger can be threaded in and out for adjustment or replacement without special tooling.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in wet or harsh environments
• M6 x 1.00 thread size for direct installation into standard metric tapped holes
• 4.05 pounds initial end force and 11.24 pounds final end force for light-duty detent applications
• Standard plunger length at 0.787 inches thread length for general-purpose fitment
• 0.098 inches plunger projection suitable for shallow detent groove applications
• No locking element allows straightforward installation and field adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-install metric threaded spring plunger for M6 x 1.00 tapped bores in mechanical fixtures, jigs, workholding devices, and general industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped M6 x 1.00 bore using a hex key or slotted driver appropriate for the drive style. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing components in live assemblies. Do not overtighten, as this can preload the spring beyond its design range or damage the plunger nose.
