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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-10A-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty holding applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The body and nose are both constructed from stainless steel, making this plunger well-suited for environments that demand corrosion resistance. It features a 5/8-11 thread with a 1-1/2 inch thread length and delivers an initial end force of 3.5 pounds and a final end force of 10.5 pounds. A locking element is included to prevent the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling. This component is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, or maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies.

This spring plunger is intended for use in fixture and jig assemblies, machine tooling, and general industrial positioning applications where repeatable spring-loaded contact is required. The stainless steel construction suits both dry and mildly corrosive environments. With a plunger projection of 5/16 inch and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inch, it fits installations requiring a compact, standard-length threaded plunger. The locking element makes it particularly useful in high-vibration settings where standard plungers tend to migrate out of position.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1-1/2 inch thread length for secure installation in tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Initial end force of 3.5 pounds and final end force of 10.5 pounds for consistent spring-loaded positioning
• 5/16 inch plunger projection with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inch
• Locking element prevents backing out under vibration or repeated load cycles
• Standard plunger length type for straightforward drop-in replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement threaded spring plunger for industrial fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded plunger with a standard 1-1/2 inch body length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a properly tapped 5/8-11 hole using a spanner wrench or hex key as the design allows. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged after the plunger is set to the desired depth to prevent movement during service. Always de-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing spring plungers in active assemblies.
