Gibraltar MSW10-3FSP-G Threaded Spring Plunger M5 X 0.80

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-3FSP-G is a short-type threaded spring plunger designed for precise positioning, indexing, and light-duty holding applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features an M5 x 0.80 thread with a 14.5 mm thread length, a maximum plunger diameter of 2.36 mm, and a 3 mm projection. Both the body and nose are constructed from steel, providing durable resistance to wear in industrial and tool-and-die environments. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position after installation, preventing loosening from vibration or repeated actuation. This component is typically installed by machinists, tool makers, and mechanical assemblers working with fixtures, jigs, and precision tooling.

The MSW10-3FSP-G suits applications where a compact, threaded plunger is required in tight spaces or thin-walled components. The short plunger length type makes it appropriate for installations with limited axial clearance. The initial end force of 0.23 kg and final end force of 2.27 kg provide a controlled spring range suitable for light indexing or detent functions in mechanical fixtures, machine tool components, and production jigs. It is sold and packaged individually.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 thread with 14.5 mm thread length for standard metric tapped holes
• Short plunger type with 3 mm projection for use in low-clearance assemblies
• Steel body and steel nose construction for durability in industrial service
• Integrated locking element prevents backing out under vibration
• Initial end force of 0.23 kg and final end force of 2.27 kg for controlled detent feel
• Maximum plunger diameter of 2.36 mm for precise hole engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or new-install spring plunger for mechanical fixtures, jigs, machine tool components, and production tooling requiring an M5 x 0.80 threaded mounting hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard metric hex or spanner tooling. Ensure the receiving tapped hole meets M5 x 0.80 thread specifications and is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or lock out any machine or assembly before servicing plunger components. Do not overtighten; use the locking element to secure final position once the desired plunger projection is set.
