Gibraltar SWN10-10AFS-G Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-10AFS-G is a short-style threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty holding applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 5/8-11 thread with a 1-1/8 inch thread length, a steel body, and a Delrin nose for low-friction contact against mating surfaces. Initial end force is 2 pounds and final end force is 10.5 pounds, giving the plunger a defined actuation range suited to repeatable positioning tasks. The nose diameter measures 0.31 inches with a 5/16 inch projection. No locking element is included, making installation and removal straightforward. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians are the primary installers.

This spring plunger is used in fixtures, jigs, machine tool components, and general mechanical assemblies where a threaded, spring-loaded detent or stop is needed. The short plunger length type suits confined housings with limited axial clearance. The Delrin nose is appropriate for applications requiring non-marring contact or reduced friction against softer mating materials. This plunger ships individually and is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1-1/8 inch thread length for secure threaded installation
• Steel body construction provides durability in industrial environments
• Delrin nose minimizes friction and resists marring of mating surfaces
• 2 pound initial end force and 10.5 pound final end force for defined detent actuation
• Short plunger length type suits tight axial clearance applications
• No locking element allows easy adjustment and removal without additional tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical fixtures, jigs, and assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded spring plunger with a short nose projection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical assembly technicians using standard hand tools appropriate for 5/8-11 threaded fasteners. Ensure the receiving threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the plunger body or distort the thread engagement. Confirm spring preload and projection clearance against mating components before finalizing the assembly.
