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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SW10-2P-G is a standard 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 a steel body with a steel nose. The plunger delivers 2.70 pounds of initial end force and 7.30 pounds of final end force, making it suitable for applications that require consistent, repeatable detent or retention force. A locking element is included to secure the plunger in place once installed. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and mechanical assemblers typically install this component.

This spring plunger fits into threaded bores in fixtures, jigs, machine bases, and mechanical panels where a spring-loaded detent point is needed. The 3/32-inch plunger projection and 0.07-inch maximum plunger diameter suit precision applications with tight spatial constraints. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, tooling fixtures, and assembly jigs in both light manufacturing and maintenance settings. Its compact standard-length body makes it compatible with thin panel and plate installations.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 5/8-inch thread length for standard tapped-hole installation
• Steel body and steel nose for durability in general industrial use
• 2.70 pounds initial end force and 7.30 pounds final end force for reliable detent action
• 3/32-inch plunger projection with 0.07-inch maximum plunger diameter for precision fitment
• Locking element included to prevent backing out after installation
• Standard plunger length type for common fixture and jig applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded spring plunger for standard 8-32 tapped bores in mechanical fixtures, tooling, and industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a hex key or appropriate driver to thread the plunger into a pre-tapped 8-32 bore. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading the plunger in. The locking element should be engaged to prevent loosening under vibration or repeated cycling. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the locking element or distort the plunger body.
