Gibraltar SSWN10-2BP-G Threaded Ball Plunger 8-36

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSWN10-2BP-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty detent applications in mechanical assemblies. The plunger features an 8-36 threaded body machined from stainless steel, with a nylon ball measuring 0.094 inches in diameter. The body length is 0.344 inches, and the ball extends a maximum of 0.025 inches beyond the body face. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds, with a final end force of 1.25 pounds. A locking element is incorporated into the design to secure the plunger after installation and prevent backing out under vibration. This component is installed by mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians working on precision fixtures and tooling.

This ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, automation equipment, and general mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or light detent action is required. The stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance for applications in humid or wash-down environments. The nylon ball minimizes surface marring on mating components, making it appropriate for use against soft metals, plastics, and finished surfaces. The compact 8-36 thread size targets small-format assemblies and precision tooling applications.

Key Features

• 8-36 threaded body for installation into standard tapped holes
• Stainless steel body construction for corrosion resistance
• Nylon ball reduces marring on delicate mating surfaces
• 0.025 inches maximum ball reach for controlled detent engagement
• Integrated locking element prevents loosening under vibration
• Initial end force of 0.5 pounds and final end force of 1.25 pounds for light-duty detent applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and automation equipment requiring an 8-36 threaded detent or positioning element.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 8-36 hole in the mating component. Use the appropriate hex key or drive tool on the locking element to secure the plunger at the desired extension depth after positioning. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of chips before threading in the plunger. De-energize and lock out any powered equipment before performing installation or adjustment work on live assemblies.
