Gibraltar SSW10-2A-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2A-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in mechanical assemblies where controlled, repeatable positioning or light-duty retention is required. The plunger features an 8-32 thread size with a 5/8 inch thread length and body length. The stainless steel body and nose provide corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. Initial end force is 0.70 pounds and final end force is 2.30 pounds, making this plunger appropriate for applications requiring light, consistent spring pressure. Machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assembly technicians install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.

This spring plunger is used in light industrial and precision mechanical applications where a small, threaded positioning or detent element is needed. Typical installations include machine tool fixtures, assembly jigs, inspection equipment, and other precision mechanical components. The standard plunger length type suits general-purpose applications. No locking element is included, allowing the plunger to thread freely into a tapped hole during installation and adjustment.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 5/8 inch thread length for standard tapped hole installation
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance
• 0.70 pound initial end force and 2.30 pound final end force for light-duty positioning
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.069 inches suits fine-tolerance applications
• 3/32 inch (0.0938 inches decimal) plunger projection
• No locking element for straightforward thread-in adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any application accepting an 8-32 threaded hole requiring a stainless steel, non-locking plunger with standard projection.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 8-32 hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex driver sized to the 0.050 inch hex for torquing and adjustment. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before installing or removing plungers in active assemblies. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the spring mechanism or deform the plunger body.
