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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2SLP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for precise positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel nose, it delivers corrosion resistance suited to demanding environments. The 8-36 thread size and 0.437-inch thread length allow installation into tapped holes in metal, plastic, or composite components. An initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 1.5 pounds provide repeatable, low-force plunger action. The integrated locking element secures the plunger in position once set, eliminating drift during operation. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assemblers commonly install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.

This spring plunger is suited for light-duty indexing, detent, and alignment functions in compact mechanical assemblies. The stubby profile keeps the installed footprint minimal, making it appropriate for space-constrained fixture plates, inspection tooling, and small-format machine components. The stainless steel construction supports use in washdown-adjacent or moisture-prone environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• 8-36 thread size with 0.437-inch thread length for installation in fine-pitch tapped holes
• Stubby plunger length type keeps overall installed profile compact
• 0.5 pound initial end force and 1.5 pound final end force for consistent, repeatable detent action
• Stainless steel body and nose material provide corrosion resistance
• Integrated locking element holds plunger position once adjusted
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches suits fine-tolerance bore applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for tapped 8-36 holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and precision assembly components requiring a stubby-profile detent or indexing element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 8-36 hole in the mating component. Use an appropriately sized hex key or driver rated for the fastener size and torque the plunger to the assembler's specified value for the base material. Ensure the bore is clean and free of chips before threading in the plunger. Disengage and lock the plunger with the integrated locking element only after confirming correct seating depth and plunger projection alignment.
