Gibraltar SW10-10SL-G Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-10SL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger with a 5/8-11 thread size and a 1.062-inch thread length. It features a maximum plunger diameter of 0.31 inches and a projection of 0.215 inches. The body and nose are both steel construction, providing durable resistance to wear in industrial and mechanical applications. With an initial end force of 2 pounds and a final end force of 8.5 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent spring-loaded positioning and indexing force. It weighs 0.05 pounds and ships as a single unit. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install these components in fixtures, jigs, and positioning assemblies.

Threaded spring plungers like the SW10-10SL-G are used in tooling fixtures, machine tool components, and workholding assemblies where controlled spring force is needed to locate, retain, or index a part. The stubby plunger length type makes it well suited for installations with limited clearance depth. Typical applications include production fixtures, automation equipment, and light-duty positioning mechanisms found in both job shop and production manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1.062-inch thread length for secure mounting
• Stubby plunger length type for tight-clearance installations
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in industrial environments
• 2-pound initial end force and 8.5-pound final end force for positive indexing
• 0.215-inch plunger projection and 0.31-inch maximum plunger diameter
• No locking element — standard free-spinning installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for tooling fixtures, jigs, and workholding assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded bore and stubby plunger geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians using standard hand tools appropriate for 5/8-11 threaded fasteners. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, properly tapped to 5/8-11, and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the internal spring mechanism. Verify plunger projection and end force values are appropriate for the intended positioning or indexing load before finalizing the assembly.
