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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-10SL-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 5/8-11 thread size with a 1.062-inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inches. The plunger projection measures 0.215 inches. Both the body and nose are constructed from stainless steel, making the unit suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a requirement. A locking element is built in to secure the plunger in position once installed, preventing loosening from vibration or repeated cycling. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, toolmakers, and machine builders working with fixtures, jigs, or precision assemblies.

This spring plunger is appropriate for use in light-duty to medium-duty positioning applications across manufacturing, tooling, and fixture-building environments. The stubby body length keeps the installed profile compact, which suits tight-clearance assemblies. With an initial end force of 2 pounds and a final end force of 8.5 pounds, it provides controlled resistance suitable for detent and locating functions where repeatable positioning is needed without excessive force. It is sold individually and is well suited for retrofit or replacement installations alongside existing plunger arrangements in machined bores or tapped holes.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1.062-inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Built-in locking element resists loosening under vibration or repeated load cycling
• Stubby plunger length type for compact, tight-clearance assemblies
• 2-pound initial end force and 8.5-pound final end force for controlled detent and positioning feel
• 0.215-inch plunger projection with 0.31-inch maximum plunger diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-thread replacement or new-installation spring plunger for applications requiring a 5/8-11 threaded body with a stubby profile and integrated locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 5/8-11 hole in the receiving workpiece. Use an appropriate hex key or spanner tool to thread the plunger in to the specified engagement depth without over-torquing the stainless steel body. Ensure the assembly is depressurized or de-energized before servicing any fixture or mechanism containing this plunger. The locking element should be engaged after final positioning is confirmed to prevent migration during operation.
