Gibraltar SWN10-10BLCZPTG Threaded Ball Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-10BLCZPTG is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a steel body with a nylon ball and a 5/8-11 thread size. The ball diameter measures 0.375 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.096 inches and a body length of 0.984 inches. Initial end force is 4.5 pounds and final end force is 9 pounds. A locking element is incorporated to secure the plunger in position after installation. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance. This part is installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and mechanical assembly technicians.

This ball plunger is suited for use in fixtures, jigs, machine tool components, and industrial equipment where repeatable part positioning or spring-loaded detent action is required. The nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating components, making it appropriate for applications where contact-surface protection is a priority. It is sold individually and is intended for direct threaded installation into a tapped hole.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size for direct installation into a standard tapped hole
• Steel body with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Nylon ball construction reduces surface marring on mating parts
• 4.5 pounds initial end force and 9 pounds final end force for reliable detent action
• Integrated locking element secures plunger position after installation
• Compact 0.984-inch body length with 0.096-inch maximum ball reach

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-thread replacement or new-installation ball plunger for standard 5/8-11 tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, and industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 5/8-11 hole in the mating component. Disengage or de-energize any associated equipment before installing or servicing the plunger. Use appropriate thread-locking procedure or rely on the integrated locking element as designed. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the nylon ball or deform the body.
