Gibraltar SSW10-10-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-10-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments, while the locking element secures the plunger in place once set. The 5/8-11 thread and 1-1/2 inch thread length allow for straightforward installation into standard tapped holes. Initial end force is 10.5 pounds and final end force is 25.5 pounds, making this plunger suitable for moderate-load positioning tasks. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.31 inches with a 5/16 inch projection. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically install and service these components.

This spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, machine tools, and assembly equipment where repeatable positioning or detent action is required. The stainless steel body makes it appropriate for use in environments where corrosion or washdown is a concern. The standard plunger length type suits a wide range of off-the-shelf fixture and tooling block applications. A locking element is included, allowing the plunger to be locked at a fixed position once the correct adjustment is made, which reduces unintended movement under vibration or repeated cycling.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments
• Locking element included to secure plunger position against vibration or repeated loading
• 5/8-11 thread size with 1-1/2 inch thread length for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 10.5 pound initial end force and 25.5 pound final end force for moderate-load detent and positioning applications
• 5/16 inch plunger projection with 0.31 inch maximum plunger diameter
• Standard plunger length type suitable for common jig and fixture configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread spring plunger for use in tapped holes with a 5/8-11 thread specification, typical of industrial jigs, fixtures, and machine tool assemblies requiring a locking-style plunger with stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 5/8-11 hole using an appropriate spanner wrench or hex key as required by the body style. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation to achieve proper seating and accurate end force. Engage the locking element per the manufacturer procedure to prevent rotation after final positioning. Always de-energize or lock out the equipment before servicing or replacing spring plungers in active machinery.
