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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-10S-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking in mechanical assemblies. The stainless steel body and nose construction make it suitable for corrosive or sanitary environments where carbon steel hardware is not appropriate. It carries a 5/8-11 thread with a 1.062 inch thread length, a maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inches, and a projection of 0.215 inches. Initial end force is 7 pounds and final end force is 50 pounds, giving the plunger a firm, progressive feel under load. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in the threaded bore once set.

This spring plunger is used in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and light machinery where a ball or pin must engage a detent hole or groove to hold position. The stubby body profile fits in shallow boss or panel applications where a standard-length plunger would not clear surrounding structure. It is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical maintenance technicians, typically in production fixtures, automated handling equipment, or precision assemblies requiring repeatable registration.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread with 1.062 inch thread length for deep thread engagement
• Stubby plunger length type suited for space-constrained mounting bosses
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 7 pound initial end force and 50 pound final end force for firm detent action
• Locking element included to prevent back-out under vibration
• 0.215 inch projection with 0.31 inch maximum plunger diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a direct threaded replacement or new-installation spring plunger for mechanical fixtures, jigs, and tooling applications using a 5/8-11 threaded bore.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex key or spanner in the appropriate socket on the plunger body; do not use pliers directly on the nose. Ensure the receiving bore is tapped to a clean 5/8-11 thread before installation. Engage the locking element after the plunger is set to the correct projection depth to prevent loosening from vibration. Power down or de-energize any automated equipment before servicing or replacing spring plungers in active fixtures.
