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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-4A-PT-G is a standard threaded spring plunger with an M6 x 1.00 thread size and a 0.787-inch thread length. The steel body houses a spring-loaded nose that delivers 1.57 pounds of initial end force and 4.50 pounds of final end force, providing consistent, repeatable positioning force in mechanical assemblies. A locking element secures the plunger in position after installation, preventing loosening from vibration or repeated cycling. This component is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and assembly professionals in fixtures, jigs, and precision positioning applications.

The MSW10-4A-PT-G is suited for use in machining fixtures, workholding setups, and mechanical assemblies that require controlled spring force for indexing, detenting, or part retention. The compact M6 x 1 thread fits standard metric threaded holes, making it compatible with a wide range of fixture plates, tooling blocks, and machine frames. Its steel construction handles the demands of production shop environments where durability and consistent force repeatability are required.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 thread size with 0.787-inch thread length for standard metric fitment
• 1.57 lb initial end force and 4.50 lb final end force for defined spring resistance
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.106 inches provides precise nose engagement
• 0.098-inch plunger projection delivers controlled, low-profile actuation travel
• Steel body and steel nose material for strength and wear resistance
• Locking element included to resist loosening under vibration or cyclic loading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for metric-threaded fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring an M6 x 1 threaded spring plunger with a standard-length body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped M6 x 1 hole using a spanner wrench or appropriate tool for the body style. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and threaded to correct depth before installation. Engage the locking element per standard procedure to prevent back-out during operation. Do not exceed the rated spring force by overdriving the plunger nose beyond its specified projection travel.
