Gibraltar MSW10-4FS-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger M6x1

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-4FS-PT-G is a short-type threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty latching applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features an M6x1 thread with a 16 mm thread length, a maximum plunger diameter of 3.02 mm, and a 4 mm projection. The steel body and steel nose provide durability in industrial and manufacturing environments. A locking element is integrated into the body to secure the plunger in place once installed, preventing rotation or backing out under vibration. This part is typically installed by machinists, tool and die makers, maintenance mechanics, and precision assembly technicians.

This spring plunger is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, machine tool assemblies, and light mechanical devices where repeatable positioning or detent action is required. The M6x1 thread makes it compatible with standard metric tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The short plunger length type is appropriate for applications with limited depth or where a low-profile installation is necessary. Initial end force is 0.23 kg and final end force is 2.72 kg, making this plunger suitable for light-load indexing and detent functions.

Key Features

• M6x1 thread with 16 mm thread length for standard metric tapped hole installation
• 3.02 mm maximum plunger diameter with 4 mm projection for consistent detent positioning
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in industrial environments
• Integrated locking element prevents rotation and backing out under vibration
• Short plunger length type for low-profile or depth-restricted installations
• Initial end force 0.23 kg and final end force 2.72 kg for light-load indexing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for standard M6x1 metric tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, and precision assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a hex key or spanner wrench appropriate for the M6 thread form. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is set to the desired depth to prevent loosening during operation. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plunger body or the locking element.
