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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-2A-G is a standard-length threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-32 thread size with a 5/8-inch thread length and body length, a steel body and steel nose, and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches. The plunger projection measures 3/32 inch (0.0938 inches decimal). Initial end force is 0.70 pounds and final end force is 2.30 pounds, providing a defined spring resistance range suited to repeatable positioning tasks. This plunger is installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians.

This spring plunger is used in light mechanical positioning and detent applications where a threaded fastener-style installation is required. The 8-32 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes in metal or plastic panels, fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and equipment enclosures. Its compact profile and standard plunger-length configuration suit applications where minimal protrusion and controlled spring force are needed in tight assemblies.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size for installation in standard tapped holes
• 5/8-inch thread length and body length for secure engagement depth
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in mechanical environments
• 0.70 lb initial end force and 2.30 lb final end force for defined spring resistance
• 3/32 inch (0.0938 inches) plunger projection keeps a low profile
• No locking element — standard friction-fit installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded spring plunger for mechanical assemblies requiring an 8-32 thread with a 5/8-inch thread length and standard plunger-length configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 8-32 hole using a hex key or appropriate driver. Ensure the mating hole is clean and properly tapped to the correct depth before installation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the plunger body or deform the nose. Verify spring force requirements against the application load before final assembly.
