Gibraltar SW10-14A-G Threaded Spring Plunger Steel Body

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-14A-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, locating, and light-duty indexing applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/8 thread size with a 2-13/32 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.498 inches. It delivers an initial end force of 4 pounds and a final end force of 31 pounds, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent spring-loaded engagement. Both the body and nose are constructed from steel for durability in demanding environments. This component is installed by mechanical assemblers, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and machine assemblies.

The SW10-14A-G is suited for use in industrial fixtures, precision tooling, and mechanical assemblies where repeatable spring-loaded plunger action is required. The standard plunger length type and 1/2 inch projection make it a common choice for locating and detent applications on machine components, panels, and sliding assemblies. No locking element is present, allowing free spring travel without retention features.

Key Features

• 1/8 thread size with 2-13/32 inch thread length for straightforward installation into standard threaded bores
• 1/2 inch plunger projection provides consistent engagement depth for locating and indexing tasks
• 4 pound initial end force and 31 pound final end force for reliable spring-loaded detent action
• Steel body and steel nose construction for strength and wear resistance in industrial use
• No locking element — allows free plunger travel without additional retention hardware
• Standard plunger length type for broad compatibility with common fixture and tooling designs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in industrial fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies that accept a 1/8 threaded bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped bore of the appropriate thread size using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading or misalignment. Do not exceed the rated final end force when compressing the plunger, as overloading may damage the spring or body. Always de-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers.
