Gibraltar MSW10-10FS-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger M16 X 2

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-10FS-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and locating applications in industrial machinery and fixtures. It features an M16 x 2.00 thread with a 28.5 mm thread length and a short-style plunger configuration. The steel body and steel nose provide durability under repeated mechanical cycling. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in the threaded bore to prevent loosening from vibration. The plunger diameter measures 7.87 mm with an 8 mm projection. Initial end force is 1.59 kg and final end force reaches 11.79 kg. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically install and service this hardware.

This spring plunger suits applications where a retractable, spring-loaded contact point is needed to hold, index, or locate a workpiece or moving component. Common installations include jigs, fixtures, machine tool slides, and assembly tooling where repeatable positioning is required. The locking element makes this plunger well suited for high-vibration environments where an unlocked plunger body could back out of the bore over time.

Key Features

• M16 x 2.00 thread size with 28.5 mm thread length for deep engagement in threaded bores
• Short plunger style with 7.87 mm maximum plunger diameter and 8 mm projection
• Steel body and steel nose construction for wear resistance and mechanical durability
• Integrated locking element prevents the body from loosening due to vibration or torque
• Initial end force of 1.59 kg and final end force of 11.79 kg for firm, controlled indexing force

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for threaded M16 x 2.00 bores in industrial fixtures, jigs, and machine tool assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a prepared M16 x 2.00 tapped hole using an appropriate spanner or pin wrench on the body flats. Power down and de-energize any associated machine or actuator before servicing spring plungers in active fixtures. The locking element should be engaged per the manufacturer torque guidance for your specific bore material to prevent over-tightening and thread damage. Verify plunger projection and spring force are appropriate for the application before final assembly.
