The plunger features an M16 x 2 thread with a 28.5 mm thread length, a short plunger configuration with a maximum plunger diameter of 7.87 mm, and a projection of 8 mm. Both the body and nose are constructed from steel for durability in industrial service environments. A built-in locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration once installed, making it well suited for machine tool, fixture, and jig applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used wherever a retractable, spring-loaded ball or pin is needed to hold a component in a detent position or provide repeatable part location. The M16 x 2 thread size fits standard metric threaded holes in steel plates, aluminum fixture bodies, and similar industrial components. It is appropriate for light to moderate force indexing tasks. Initial end force is 0.91 kg and final end force is 4.76 kg, giving technicians and machinists a predictable force range for detent and positioning work. Installation is performed by machine assemblers, toolmakers, or maintenance mechanics working on fixtures, jigs, automation equipment, or precision mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM16 x 2 thread size with 28.5 mm thread length for reliable engagement in standard metric threaded holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort plunger style with 8 mm projection for compact installation clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose construction for strength and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated locking element prevents rotation and back-out under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial end force of 0.91 kg and final end force of 4.76 kg for consistent detent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum plunger diameter of 7.87 mm suits standard metric bore detent geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation spring plunger for standard M16 x 2 metric threaded holes in industrial fixture plates, jig bodies, machine tool components, and similar mechanical assemblies requiring spring-loaded indexing or positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a toolmaker, machinist, or maintenance mechanic using a standard hex wrench or spanner suitable for the M16 body. Ensure the threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged to the specified torque per the assembler's fixture design requirements — do not overtighten, as this may damage the locking feature or the plunger body. Verify plunger projection and spring force are appropriate for the detent geometry before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16 x 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.87 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\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: 0.91 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.76 kg\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: Steel\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: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: MSW10-10FSL-PTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695454126386,"sku":"MSW10-10FSL-PTG","price":21.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/df11f39cb88f18a0df6c04f016d68eb8.jpg?v=1788335234","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-msw10-10fsl-ptg-threaded-spring-plunger-m16-x-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
