Gibraltar SSWN10-10SL-PTG Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-10SL-PTG is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger body is stainless steel with a thread size of 5/8-11 and a thread length of 1.062 inches. A nylon nose provides a non-marring contact surface, and an integrated locking element secures the plunger in position once installed. Initial end force is 2 pounds and final end force is 8.5 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-resistance positioning tasks. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically specify this hardware.

This spring plunger fits applications where a compact stubby profile is required in tight or shallow bored holes. The 5/8-11 thread accommodates standard tapped housings in tooling plates, fixtures, jigs, and production equipment. The stainless steel body offers corrosion resistance appropriate for washdown environments or applications where steel contact with coolant or mild chemicals is a concern. The nylon nose limits surface damage to mating components during engagement and release cycles.

Key Features

• Stubby plunger profile with 1.062-inch body length for shallow installation depths
• 5/8-11 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance
• Nylon nose reduces marring on mating surfaces
• Integrated locking element prevents plunger from backing out under vibration
• 2-pound initial end force and 8.5-pound final end force for repeatable positioning

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install threaded spring plunger for fixtures, jigs, and tooling plates with a standard 5/8-11 tapped hole and a minimum bore depth to accommodate the 1.062-inch body length.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or spanner suitable for the 5/8-11 thread. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of chips or debris before threading in the plunger. The integrated locking element applies prevailing torque to resist back-out, so installation requires firm threading without the need for additional thread-locking compound. Depower or lock out any associated equipment before servicing or replacing spring plungers in active assemblies.
