Gibraltar MSW10-4-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger M6 X 1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-4-PT-G is a standard threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The steel body and steel nose provide durable, corrosion-resistant performance in demanding shop and industrial environments. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 4.05 pounds and a final end force of 11.24 pounds, making it well suited for repeatable positioning tasks where consistent spring tension is required. A built-in locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically source and install this type of hardware component.

This spring plunger is intended for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and machine assemblies where a threaded M6 x 1 installation point is present. The standard plunger length type and compact overall dimensions make it appropriate for tight-clearance installations. It installs into a pre-tapped M6 x 1 hole and requires no special tooling beyond a standard hex wrench or screwdriver compatible with the drive style. Typical applications include light assembly fixtures, positioning slides, and panel retention in both manual and automated equipment.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 thread size with 0.787 inches thread length for secure installation in standard tapped holes
• Initial end force of 4.05 pounds and final end force of 11.24 pounds for consistent indexing performance
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.106 inches and plunger projection of 0.098 inches for compact, close-tolerance fitment
• Steel body and steel nose construction for durability in industrial environments
• Integrated locking element prevents backing out under vibration or repeated cycling
• Standard plunger length type simplifies specification and replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6 x 1 threaded spring plunger for use in any mechanical assembly or fixture requiring a pre-tapped M6 x 1 installation point with a locking spring plunger element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped M6 x 1 hole using appropriate hand tools. Ensure the mating hole threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the locking element or distort the plunger housing. Consult applicable machinery maintenance standards and equipment documentation before servicing assemblies containing spring plungers.
