Gibraltar SW10-2-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-2-G is a standard-length threaded spring plunger designed for use in mechanical assemblies where controlled positioning, indexing, or light-duty locking is required. The body and nose are both constructed of steel, providing durability in industrial and manufacturing applications. Thread size is 8-32 with a thread length of 5/8 inches. The plunger diameter measures 0.07 inches, and projection is 3/32 inches (0.0938 inches decimal). Initial end force is 2.70 pounds and final end force is 7.30 pounds. This part is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, or maintenance technicians working on fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies.

The SW10-2-G fits into 8-32 threaded holes and is suited for light-duty positioning and detenting tasks in machine components, fixtures, and enclosures. The standard plunger length type makes it compatible with typical through-hole or blind-hole configurations in production tooling and assembly line fixtures. No locking element is included, making installation and replacement straightforward. This plunger is packaged individually and is well-suited for both prototype builds and ongoing production maintenance.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 5/8 inch thread length for standard machine screw installations
• Steel body and steel nose construction for strength and wear resistance
• 2.70 lb initial end force and 7.30 lb final end force for consistent detent performance
• Plunger projection of 3/32 inches (0.0938 inches) for reliable engagement depth
• No locking element design simplifies installation and removal
• Standard plunger length type for broad compatibility with common threaded hole configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring an 8-32 threaded spring plunger with standard projection and steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 8-32 hole using a screwdriver or hex key as applicable to the drive type. Ensure the mating assembly is depressurized or de-energized before servicing any fixture or enclosure component. Do not overtighten, as this may compress the internal spring beyond its design range and reduce plunger travel. Verify plunger projection and force values are appropriate for the specific detent or positioning application before final assembly.
