Gibraltar SSWN10-10S-PT-G Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-10S-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The body is machined from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The nylon nose reduces surface marring on workpieces. With a 5/8-11 thread and a body length of 1.062 inches, this plunger installs into standard tapped holes. Initial end force is 7 pounds and final end force is 50 pounds, giving installers a predictable spring-loaded holding range. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in position once threaded to the desired depth.

This spring plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, machine tools, and automation equipment where a compact, stubby profile is required. The stainless steel body makes it appropriate for washdown environments, food-adjacent machinery, or any application where carbon steel would corrode. The nylon nose tip contacts the mating surface without scoring, making it a practical choice for soft-metal or finished-surface assemblies. It installs in any application calling for a 5/8-11 threaded spring plunger with a locking element.

Key Features

• Stubby plunger length type: body length of 1.062 inches for compact installations
• 5/8-11 thread size with 1.062 inches thread length for secure engagement
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments
• Nylon nose minimizes marring on mating surfaces
• 7 pounds initial end force and 50 pounds final end force for consistent spring-loaded holding
• Integrated locking element allows depth adjustment and secure positioning once set

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded spring plunger for any tapped 5/8-11 hole requiring a stubby-body, locking-element style plunger in industrial fixtures or machinery.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 5/8-11 hole using a spanner wrench or hex tool on the body flats. Disengage or de-energize any machine motion before installing or adjusting the plunger depth. Use the locking element to fix the plunger at the desired projection depth once set. Do not over-torque the body, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied without lubrication.
