It features an 8-36 threaded body machined from stainless steel, with a nylon ball that extends and retracts under spring-loaded force. The ball diameter measures 0.094 inches, the body length is 0.344 inches, and the maximum ball reach is 0.025 inches. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.25 pounds, making this plunger well suited for low-force retention tasks where soft contact with a mating surface is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plunger is used in light industrial and precision mechanical applications where a small, threaded detent or positioning element is needed. Typical installations include jigs, fixtures, tool holders, slide mechanisms, and assemblies where the nylon ball must engage a recess or groove without marring the mating surface. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance in environments where exposure to moisture or mild chemicals is possible. Color code is purple for quick identification during assembly or inventory sorting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-36 thread size for compact, fine-threaded installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball provides soft, non-marring contact with mating surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.094 inch ball diameter with 0.025 inch maximum ball reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 1.25 pound final end force for light-duty detent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurple color code for fast part identification during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard threaded ball plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and positioning applications requiring an 8-36 threaded detent element with a nylon ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a threaded tap to prepare the receiving bore before threading in the plunger body. Verify thread engagement depth does not exceed body length to avoid bottoming out the plunger and restricting ball travel. Do not overtorque the body into the mating thread, as this may deform the stainless steel or restrict ball movement. Ensure the mating recess or groove aligns properly with the ball travel axis before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SSWN10-2B-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690302439730,"sku":"SSWN10-2B-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2e540cbc185c2cd702c9fea9be37d9c.jpg?v=1788268410","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-sswn10-2b-g-threaded-ball-plunger-8-36","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
