Gibraltar MSW10-8-G Threaded Spring Plunger M12 X 1.75

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSW10-8-G is a standard threaded spring plunger with an M12 x 1.75 thread size and a thread length of 1.102 inches. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 10.12 pounds and a final end force of 24.73 pounds, making it suitable for indexing, positioning, and light-duty workholding applications. The body and nose are both constructed from steel for durability in industrial and mechanical assembly environments. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically install this component in fixtures, jigs, and machine tool setups where repeatable spring-loaded positioning is required.

This spring plunger is designed for use in machine fixtures, assembly tooling, and industrial positioning systems. The standard plunger length type suits a wide range of common fixture designs. With a maximum plunger diameter of 0.236 inches and a projection of 0.157 inches, it fits compact bores and tight clearance applications. The M12 x 1.75 thread allows installation into tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or cast iron fixture plates commonly found in production and prototype environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped M12 x 1.75 hole using a spanner wrench or hex key appropriate to the body drive feature. Ensure the mating bore and thread are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated end force when compressing the plunger, as overloading can damage the internal spring. Torque to the fixture manufacturer's specification for the thread size and base material.
