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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-14A-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, locating, and indexing applications across industrial and mechanical assemblies. The unit features a steel body and steel nose with a locking element to hold the plunger securely in its threaded bore. Thread size is 1/8, with a body and thread length of 2-13/32 inches and a plunger projection of 1/2 inch. Initial end force is 4 pounds and final end force is 31 pounds, providing a firm, controlled spring action suitable for precision work-holding and detent applications. Total unit weight is 0.05 pounds.

This spring plunger is used in tooling fixtures, jigs, machine components, and equipment panels where repeatable spring-loaded positioning or detent action is required. The locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated actuation cycles, making it appropriate for demanding production and maintenance environments. It is installed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on mechanical assemblies and industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 1/8 bore using appropriate hand tools. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged per standard practice to prevent backing out during service. Disengage or isolate any powered or spring-loaded mechanisms in the assembly before servicing or replacing the plunger.
