Gibraltar SSWN10-10B-PT-G Threaded Ball Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-10B-PT-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a stainless steel body with a nylon ball, a 5/8-11 thread size, and a body length of 0.984 inches. The nylon ball measures 0.375 inches in diameter with a maximum ball reach of 0.096 inches. Initial end force is 9 pounds and final end force is 18 pounds. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed. This part is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and equipment assemblies.

This ball plunger suits applications where repeatable positioning or tactile detent feedback is needed in a threaded bore. The stainless steel body resists corrosion, making it appropriate for use in light washdown or humid environments. The nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating parts, which is useful in fixture and workholding applications where contact surfaces must be protected. The locking element prevents the plunger from backing out under vibration or repeated cycling.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size for direct installation into a standard tapped bore
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Nylon ball protects mating surfaces from scratching or galling
• 9-pound initial end force and 18-pound final end force for reliable detent action
• Maximum ball reach of 0.096 inches for precise engagement depth
• Integrated locking element prevents loosening under vibration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded ball plunger for use in any application requiring a 5/8-11 threaded bore with detent or positioning functionality in mechanical fixtures, jigs, and equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a standard wrench on the threaded body. Ensure the receiving bore is properly tapped to 5/8-11 before installation. Disengage or de-energize any moving machinery before installing or servicing plunger components. Do not exceed the rated end force, as overtightening or forcing the ball beyond maximum reach can damage the nylon ball or the seating surface.
