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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-10SL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger with a 5/8-11 thread size and a 1.062-inch thread length. The steel body houses a spring-loaded steel nose that delivers 2 pounds of initial end force and 8.5 pounds of final end force, making it suitable for indexing, positioning, and light-duty retention applications. The plunger nose projects 0.215 inches at full extension and has a maximum diameter of 0.31 inches. This part is installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working on fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies.

This spring plunger is designed for use in industrial and mechanical assembly applications where consistent spring force and compact thread engagement are required. The stubby plunger length profile makes it well suited for installations with limited clearance. It threads directly into a tapped hole, requiring no additional hardware. Typical uses include part positioning on fixtures, detent mechanisms, and component retention in tooling setups.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1.062-inch thread length for direct installation into tapped holes
• Stubby plunger length type for use in space-constrained installations
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in industrial environments
• 2-pound initial end force and 8.5-pound final end force for light-duty indexing and retention
• 0.215-inch plunger projection at full extension
• No locking element, allowing free rotation after installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct threaded replacement for stubby spring plungers with a 5/8-11 thread in standard tapped-hole fixture and tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 5/8-11 hole in the mating component. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fixtures or tooling that incorporate spring plungers. Use appropriate hand tools to thread the plunger in to the specified engagement depth without over-torquing the steel body. Verify plunger projection and end force are appropriate for the intended indexing or retention function before returning the assembly to service.
