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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-10S-PT-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 5/8-11 thread with a body length of 1.062 inches and a stubby plunger configuration. The nylon nose provides a non-marring contact point, while the steel body delivers the structural rigidity required for repetitive cycling under load. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in place after installation, preventing loosening from vibration. Initial end force is 7 pounds, with a final end force rating of 50 pounds. Installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians.

This spring plunger is suited for use in fixture plates, jigs, machine tool components, and precision positioning assemblies where controlled spring force and thread-mounted retention are required. The stubby plunger length type makes it appropriate for applications with limited clearance or shallow counterbore depths. The 0.215-inch projection and 0.310-inch maximum plunger diameter keep the footprint compact within tight assemblies.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1.062-inch thread length for secure mounting in tapped holes
• Stubby plunger type for use in space-constrained assemblies
• Nylon nose material provides non-marring contact and reduced wear on mating surfaces
• Steel body construction for durability under repetitive load cycles
• Locking element included to resist loosening from vibration
• 7-pound initial end force and 50-pound final end force for controlled indexing loads

Compatibility

Designed as a thread-mounted spring plunger for use in tapped holes accepting a 5/8-11 thread, suitable for fixture plates, jigs, and mechanical positioning assemblies requiring a stubby-style plunger with a locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped hole sized for a 5/8-11 thread. Use an appropriate wrench or hex tool on the body to thread the plunger to the specified depth without over-torquing the steel body. Ensure the mating surface and bore are clean and free of chips or debris before installation. The locking element should engage fully to prevent back-out during operation.
