Gibraltar SSW10-2SL-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-36

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2SL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, spring-loaded positioning and indexing in mechanical assemblies. Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel nose, this plunger threads directly into a tapped hole and delivers repeatable end forces for light-duty retention and detent applications. It carries an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 1.5 pounds, making it suitable for low-force positioning tasks. The 8-36 thread size and compact stubby profile allow installation in tight spaces where standard-length plungers would not fit.

This spring plunger is used in precision mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, tooling, and industrial equipment where a small, repeatable detent or positioning force is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance matters, such as food processing equipment, wet environments, or washdown areas. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one unit.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 8-36 thread size with 0.437 inches thread length for direct installation into tapped holes
• Stubby plunger length type allows use in confined or shallow mounting locations
• 0.5 pound initial end force and 1.5 pound final end force for light-duty detent and positioning
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches for precise, low-profile engagement
• No locking element — installs and adjusts without thread-locking features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-threaded replacement or OEM-style spring plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring an 8-36 threaded stubby spring plunger with stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped 8-36 hole at the appropriate depth to accept the full thread length. Use a properly sized hex key or driver to thread the plunger into place without over-torquing the small-diameter threads. Ensure the mating bore or detent surface is clean and free of debris before installation to allow full plunger travel. No power shutoff is required, but depressurize or de-energize any assembly before servicing components in a live system.
