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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2ASP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, spring-loaded force in positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking applications. Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel nose, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 1.5 pounds and a final end force of 4.7 pounds. The 8-32 threaded shank installs directly into a tapped hole, making it a compact, repeatable solution for assemblies that require consistent spring tension without external hardware. At 0.05 pounds, it is suited for precision equipment and light mechanical assemblies.

This spring plunger is used in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, jigs, and equipment panels where a low-profile, threaded retention or positioning element is needed. The stubby plunger length keeps the installed profile minimal, making it appropriate for space-constrained applications. The locking element feature allows the plunger to be secured in the tapped hole after torque adjustment, preventing loosening from vibration. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers typically install this component.

Key Features

• 8-32 threaded shank with 0.437 inches thread length for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stubby plunger type with 0.052 inches projection and 0.07 inches maximum plunger diameter
• 1.5 pounds initial end force and 4.7 pounds final end force for controlled spring-loaded positioning
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Integrated locking element prevents backing out under vibration

Compatibility

Designed for standard 8-32 tapped hole installations in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring a stubby threaded spring plunger with locking capability.

Installation Notes

Install using a slotted or hex driver appropriate for the 8-32 thread size. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain this plunger. Engage the locking element after the plunger is set to the desired position to prevent movement under vibration. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the threads or compress the internal spring beyond its rated travel.
