Gibraltar SW10-14-G Threaded Spring Plunger Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-14-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and clamping applications across industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/8 thread size with a thread length of 2-13/32 inches and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.498 inches. It delivers 16 pounds of initial end force and 68 pounds of final end force, making it suitable for applications that require moderate spring resistance. Both the body and nose are constructed from steel, offering durability in demanding service environments. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians.

The SW10-14-G is used in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine assemblies where repeatable spring-loaded positioning or retention is required. The standard plunger length type and 1/2-inch projection make it a common choice for general-purpose industrial applications. It carries no locking element, allowing free rotation under load. Sold individually, this plunger fits a range of light-to-medium-duty mechanical assemblies in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 1/8 thread size with 2-13/32 inch thread length for secure installation in threaded bores
• 0.498 inch maximum plunger diameter for precise fitment
• 16 lb initial end force and 68 lb final end force for consistent spring-loaded resistance
• Steel body and steel nose construction for wear resistance and long service life
• 1/2 inch plunger projection — standard length type for common tooling applications
• No locking element, allowing free plunger rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in industrial fixtures, jigs, and tooling assemblies that accept a 1/8 threaded spring plunger with a 2-13/32 inch body length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using standard hand tools appropriate for the thread size. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly threaded before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plunger body or distort the spring mechanism. Always confirm the bore depth accommodates the full body length before seating the plunger.
