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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-10BL-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a stainless steel body with a 5/8-11 thread size and a nylon ball measuring 0.375 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.984 inches, and the maximum ball reach is 0.096 inches. Initial end force is 4.5 pounds, with a final end force of 9 pounds. This plunger is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers in fixtures, jigs, and machine components where repeatable positioning or spring-loaded retention is required.

This ball plunger is suited for use in industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, workholding equipment, and mechanical assembly applications. The stainless steel body resists corrosion in light washdown or humid environments. The nylon ball provides low friction contact and protects softer mating surfaces from marking or galling. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 5/8-11 threaded bores.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size for installation in standard tapped bores
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Nylon ball reduces surface marking on mating components
• 0.375 inch ball diameter with 0.096 inch maximum ball reach
• 4.5 pound initial end force and 9 pound final end force for consistent detent feel
• No locking element — installs and adjusts with standard hex tools

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a standard 5/8-11 threaded ball plunger for indexing, positioning, or spring-loaded detent retention in mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a hex wrench or spanner suited to the body. Ensure the mating bore is clean and correctly tapped to 5/8-11 before installation. De-energize or lock out any machine before installing or adjusting plungers in powered equipment. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the nylon ball or damage the body threads.
