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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-10SL-PT-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. The steel body provides durability under repeated cycling, while the nylon nose protects mating surfaces from marring. It carries an initial end force of 2 pounds and a final end force of 8.5 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-resistance detent and feed applications. The locking element secures the plunger in place after installation, preventing backing out under vibration. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, fixture builders, and maintenance technicians install this type of component in jigs, fixtures, and precision assemblies.

This spring plunger is used in industrial and light manufacturing environments where controlled spring-loaded positioning or detent action is required. The 5/8-11 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or plastic fixtures. The stubby body length of 1.062 inches suits compact fixture designs where space is limited. It is appropriate for both OEM assembly line fixtures and field-service tooling repairs across a wide range of industrial trades.

Key Features

• Steel body construction for strength and long service life in cycling applications
• Nylon nose protects delicate mating surfaces from scratching or galling
• Locking element prevents loosening due to vibration or repeated actuation
• 2 pound initial end force and 8.5 pound final end force for consistent detent resistance
• Stubby plunger profile with 0.215 inches projection suited for space-constrained fixtures
• Standard 5/8-11 thread for compatibility with common tapped-hole patterns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for industrial jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 threaded stubby spring plunger with a locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 5/8-11 hole using a spanner wrench or pin spanner sized to the body flats. Ensure the tapped hole depth is sufficient for the full 1.062 inch thread engagement. The locking element should be tightened to the torque specification provided by the fixture or assembly designer. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing fixtures or assemblies containing this plunger.
