Gibraltar SSWN10-2ASP-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-2ASP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled, repeatable positioning and indexing force in mechanical assemblies. The plunger body is machined from stainless steel and features a nylon nose, an 8-32 thread size, and a thread length of 0.437 inches. It delivers an initial end force of 1.5 pounds and a final end force of 4.7 pounds, making it suited for light-duty detent and retention applications. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in its threaded bore once positioned. This component is installed by mechanical technicians and precision assembly professionals.

This spring plunger is used in applications where a compact, stubby-profile plunger is required and available installation depth is limited. Typical scenarios include panel assemblies, fixture tooling, jigs, and equipment housings where a threaded bore is machined or tapped to accept an 8-32 fastener. The nylon nose protects mating surfaces from galling or marring, which is relevant in assemblies with finished or coated surfaces. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance for use in wash-down or humid environments.

Key Features

• Stubby plunger length type for installations with shallow available depth
• 8-32 thread size with 0.437 inches thread length for standard tapped bores
• Stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Nylon nose protects mating surfaces from damage during repeated engagement
• Locking element secures plunger position once adjusted in the bore
• 1.5 pound initial end force and 4.7 pound final end force for consistent detent action

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement or new-installation spring plunger for any application with a tapped 8-32 threaded bore requiring a stubby-profile plunger with a nylon nose and locking element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or assembly technicians using a standard hex key or spanner tool appropriate for the plunger drive style. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly tapped to 8-32 before threading in the plunger. Use the locking element to fix the plunger at the desired engagement depth once set. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing this component.
