The steel body accepts a 1\/2-13 thread with a 1-1\/4 inch thread length. The plunger nose measures 0.248 inches in diameter with a 1\/4 inch projection. Initial end force is 6.6 pounds and final end force is 17.4 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-load detent and locating tasks. No locking element is incorporated. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, machine tool assemblies, and industrial equipment where repeatable positioning or light retention is required. The 1\/2-13 thread size fits tapped holes in standard steel, aluminum, and cast iron housings. Both the body and nose are steel construction, suited for general-purpose shop and production environments where the plunger is exposed to moderate loads and repeated cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 thread size with 1-1\/4 inch thread length for secure engagement in tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel body and steel nose for durability in production and fixture applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.6 pound initial end force and 17.4 pound final end force for consistent detent performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.248 inch maximum plunger diameter with 1\/4 inch projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo locking element — threads freely into tapped locations for easy positioning or removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard plunger length type for broad compatibility with common fixture designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style threaded spring plunger for use in tapped 1\/2-13 holes in jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies where a steel body and nose are appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the plunger into a properly tapped 1\/2-13 hole using a hex key or spanner appropriate for the body style. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can distort the body or restrict plunger travel. Verify plunger projection and force requirements are met before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SW10-8-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722329096498,"sku":"SW10-8-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f15658d47a7268da8cc17280d4b5256b.jpg?v=1788589460","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sw10-8-g-threaded-spring-plunger-1-2-13-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
