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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-2AFS-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and locating applications across mechanical assemblies. The plunger features an 8-32 thread size with a 1/2 inch thread length, a short plunger length type, and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches. The steel body and steel nose deliver solid durability in demanding environments. With an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 2 pounds, this plunger provides reliable spring tension for light-duty holding and detent functions. Machinists, toolmakers, and assembly technicians install these components in fixtures, jigs, and precision equipment.

This spring plunger is suited for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and mechanical assembly operations where positive part location or indexing is required. The 3/32 inch projection allows for controlled engagement with mating components. The 8-32 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes used throughout light industrial and precision assembly applications. Sold individually, it is appropriate for both repair and new-build scenarios.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded spring plunger for use in any component or assembly accepting an 8-32 threaded hole, including jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical devices requiring short-projection spring-loaded positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a standard screwdriver or hex key appropriate for the plunger head style. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. Do not overtighten, as this can compress the spring beyond its working range or damage the thread engagement. Disengage or de-energize any moving assembly before servicing or replacing spring plungers in active fixtures.
