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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-8S-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/2-13 thread with a 0.75 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.248 inches. Projection measures 0.151 inches. Initial end force is 5 pounds and final end force is 28.5 pounds, giving installers a predictable spring-loaded engagement range. The body and nose are both stainless steel, making this plunger suitable for corrosive or washdown environments. A built-in locking element secures the plunger at its installed depth without additional hardware.

This spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and machine components where repeatable part positioning or detent action is required. The stubby body profile suits tight-clearance installations where a standard-length plunger would not fit. Machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of plunger in production equipment, assembly fixtures, and custom fabrications. The stainless steel construction also makes it a practical choice for food processing, medical, or marine adjacent equipment where corrosion resistance matters.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped hole sized for a 1/2-13 thread. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies containing this plunger. Use the locking element feature to set final installed depth before full torque is applied. Follow applicable machine safety and maintenance codes for the equipment type being serviced.
