Gibraltar SSW10-2SP-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-36 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2SP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-36 thread size with a 0.437-inch thread length and a stainless steel body and nose. The plunger projects 0.052 inches and delivers an initial end force of 1.5 pounds, advancing to a final end force of 4.7 pounds. A locking element is incorporated into the design to secure the plunger's position once set. This component is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on precision fixtures, jigs, or production tooling.

The SSW10-2SP-G suits applications where a low-profile, corrosion-resistant spring plunger is required in a compact threaded bore. The stubby body length of 0.437 inches makes it appropriate for shallow-thread situations where standard-length plungers would not fit. Stainless steel construction supports use in environments subject to moisture, mild chemicals, or washdown conditions. Common install scenarios include fixture plates, dial mechanisms, assembly jigs, and light-duty detent applications in industrial and commercial equipment.

Key Features

• 8-36 thread size with 0.437-inch thread length for installation in compact threaded bores
• Stubby plunger profile at 0.052-inch projection for low-clearance applications
• Stainless steel body and nose for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Initial end force of 1.5 pounds and final end force of 4.7 pounds for controlled detent action
• Integrated locking element to hold plunger position after adjustment
• Maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches for precise fit in mating bores

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded spring plunger for applications requiring an 8-36 threaded bore and a stubby-style stainless steel plunger with locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a hex key or appropriate driver sized for the threaded body. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and threads are in good condition before installation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque may damage the locking element or deform the plunger housing. Verify plunger projection and force requirements match the application before final assembly.
