Gibraltar MSWN10-3FSP-G Threaded Spring Plunger M5 X 0.8

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MSWN10-3FSP-G is a short-style threaded spring plunger designed for precise, repeatable positioning and indexing in light industrial and mechanical assembly applications. The plunger features an M5 x 0.8 threaded steel body with a 14.5 mm thread length and a Delrin nose, delivering a 3 mm projection with an initial end force of 0.23 kg and a final end force of 2.27 kg. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed, preventing rotation or backing out during operation. This part is sold individually and ships as a single unit.

The MSWN10-3FSP-G is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and precision machinery where a compact spring-loaded detent or positioning element is required. The short plunger profile makes it a practical choice when clearance is limited. The Delrin nose reduces surface marking on workpieces or mating components. Typical end users include machinists, tool-and-die makers, and mechanical maintenance technicians working in manufacturing or production environments.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.8 thread with 14.5 mm thread engagement length for secure installation in tapped holes
• Short plunger style with 3 mm projection for low-clearance applications
• Steel body provides durability and resistance to deformation under load
• Delrin nose minimizes marking or galling on contact surfaces
• Locking element prevents plunger from backing out after installation
• Initial end force of 0.23 kg rising to 2.27 kg at full compression

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation threaded spring plunger for any tapped M5 x 0.8 threaded hole requiring a short-projection, locking-style plunger with a 2.36 mm maximum plunger diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using standard hand tools. Thread the plunger into a pre-tapped M5 x 0.8 hole and tighten using the appropriate hex key or spanner to engage the locking element. Ensure the mating bore or detent groove aligns correctly with the plunger nose before final torque. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the locking element or strip the threads in softer base materials.
