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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2ASL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, repeatable positioning force in mechanical assemblies. Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel nose, it threads into a tapped hole using an 8-32 thread and delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 1.5 pounds. The plunger projection measures 0.052 inches and the overall thread and body length is 0.437 inches. This type of component is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly line workers wherever spring-loaded detent or positioning action is required in tight spaces.

The SSW10-2ASL-G fits applications where a compact, stubby plunger profile is needed due to space constraints. Typical use cases include jig and fixture assemblies, machine tool components, and precision equipment housings where a low-profile spring plunger must seat flush or near-flush with the surrounding surface. The all-stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments exposed to moisture, mild corrosives, or washdown conditions. No locking element is included, so the plunger relies solely on thread engagement for retention.

Key Features

• Stubby plunger length type for low-profile, space-constrained installations
• 8-32 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance
• 0.5 pound initial end force and 1.5 pound final end force for light-duty positioning
• 0.052 inches plunger projection with 0.070 inches maximum plunger diameter
• No locking element — retention depends on thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-install threaded spring plunger for any application requiring an 8-32 tapped hole and a stubby-profile stainless steel plunger with light spring force.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body directly into a pre-tapped 8-32 hole using an appropriate driver or wrench on the hex feature if present. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the plunger body or damage thread engagement. No power lockout is required for purely mechanical assemblies, but always follow applicable equipment-specific safety procedures before servicing any machine component.
