Gibraltar SWPN-10-G Threaded Spring Plunger 5/8-11

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWPN-10-G is a standard threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty workholding applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 5/8-11 thread with a 1-1/2 inch thread length and a phenolic nose with a 5/16 inch projection. Initial end force is 3.5 pounds and final end force is 10.5 pounds, making it suitable for applications that require consistent, repeatable spring-loaded pressure. The steel body provides durability in tooling fixtures, jigs, and machine components. This part is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers working in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

The SWPN-10-G is used in industrial fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision machine assemblies where a spring-loaded plunger is needed for part positioning, detent action, or light clamping. The standard plunger length type and 5/8-11 thread make it compatible with a wide range of threaded holes in machined components. It is commonly used in production tooling and maintenance repair operations across general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 thread size with 1-1/2 inch thread length for secure installation in machined bores
• Phenolic nose material resists wear and protects mating surfaces from marring
• Steel body construction for strength and durability in tooling applications
• 3.5 pound initial end force and 10.5 pound final end force for consistent spring-loaded performance
• 5/16 inch plunger projection provides adequate engagement for indexing and positioning tasks
• No locking element for straightforward installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded spring plunger applications in industrial fixtures and machine assemblies using 5/8-11 threaded bores.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools appropriate for the thread size. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before threading the plunger into place. Do not overtighten, as this can compress the spring beyond its rated range and reduce service life. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing any assembly containing this component.
