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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-2ASL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty locking applications in mechanical assemblies. Featuring an 8-32 thread size and a thread length of 0.437 inches, this plunger delivers an initial end force of 0.5 pounds and a final end force of 1.5 pounds. The steel body and steel nose provide durability in demanding environments. With a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches and a projection of 0.052 inches, this compact component suits tight-tolerance installations. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and industrial assembly professionals commonly install and service these plungers.

This spring plunger is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies requiring repeatable positioning or detent action. Its stubby plunger length type makes it appropriate for applications with limited clearance. The 8-32 thread allows installation into standard tapped holes found in panels, fixtures, jigs, and enclosures across industrial and trade settings. No locking element is included, making it a straightforward drop-in for standard threaded bores.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 0.437 inches thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Stubby plunger type for low-clearance applications
• 0.052 inches plunger projection provides controlled detent engagement
• Initial end force of 0.5 pounds and final end force of 1.5 pounds
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in mechanical environments
• No locking element — installs directly into standard threaded bores

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies using standard 8-32 tapped holes requiring a stubby spring plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger into a pre-tapped 8-32 hole using an appropriate hand tool or screwdriver. De-energize or power down any associated equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent interference with plunger travel. Do not overtighten, as this can restrict plunger movement or damage the thread.
