Gibraltar SSW10-8S-G Threaded Spring Plunger 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-8S-G is a stubby-style threaded spring plunger with a 1/2-13 thread size and a 0.75-inch thread length. The plunger nose and body are both machined from stainless steel, making this fastener well suited for applications where corrosion resistance and consistent spring force are required. It delivers an initial end force of 5 pounds and a final end force of 28.5 pounds, providing repeatable positioning or indexing action in mechanical assemblies. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.248 inches, and the plunger projection measures 0.151 inches. This part is sold individually and is appropriate for installation by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with positioning, locating, or detent hardware.

The SSW10-8S-G is designed for use in machine tool fixtures, industrial jigs, tooling plates, and precision mechanical assemblies where a compact, stubby-nozzle spring plunger is required. The 1/2-13 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to coolants, mild chemicals, or humidity. This plunger suits both light-duty positioning and moderate-force indexing tasks across a range of industrial and manufacturing applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 threaded spring plunger suitable for use in industrial fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical positioning assemblies that accept a stubby-nose plunger in this thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 1/2-13 hole using an appropriate wrench or hex key, depending on the drive style of the plunger body. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the spring mechanism or thread engagement. This part does not include a locking element, so apply thread-locking compound if retention under vibration is required.
