Gibraltar SSWN10-22B-G Threaded Ball Plunger 8-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-22B-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-32 thread size, a stainless steel body, and a nylon ball with a diameter of 0.094 inches. The body length measures 0.344 inches with a maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.25 pounds. This plunger is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on precision equipment, fixtures, and tooling assemblies.

This ball plunger is suited for light-duty positioning and detent functions in close-tolerance machined components. The nylon ball reduces marring on mating surfaces, making it appropriate for use against softer or finished materials. The compact 8-32 threaded body fits standard threaded holes in aluminum, steel, and plastic housings commonly found in jigs, fixtures, and light mechanical panels.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size for installation in standard threaded bores
• Stainless steel body resists corrosion in shop and light industrial environments
• Nylon ball protects mating surfaces from marring or scratching
• 0.094 inch ball diameter with 0.025 inch maximum ball reach for controlled engagement
• 0.5 lb initial end force and 1.25 lb final end force for light detent resistance
• No locking element — allows straightforward installation and removal without thread-locking features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded ball plunger for use in any machined or fabricated assembly that accepts an 8-32 threaded hole for indexing or detent positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a screwdriver or hex key depending on the drive style of the plunger body. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of chips or debris before threading in the plunger. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain ball plungers. Apply thread sealant or locking compound only if specified by the assembly drawing, as unneeded compound can restrict ball travel.
