Gibraltar SWN10-2-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-32 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-2-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for positioning, locating, and light-duty indexing applications in mechanical assemblies. It features a steel body with a nylon nose, an 8-32 thread size, and a 5/8-inch thread length. The plunger delivers an initial end force of 2.7 pounds and a final end force of 7.3 pounds, making it suitable for repeatable, spring-loaded detent work. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.07 inches with a projection of 3/32 inches. This component is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers across industrial and trade applications.

This spring plunger is used in threaded bores where a standard-length plunger is required for light positioning or detent functions. Typical applications include jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies where repeatable spring-loaded engagement is needed. The nylon nose reduces marring on softer mating surfaces. The 8-32 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes found in a wide range of machined components and assemblies.

Key Features

• Steel body construction for durability in mechanical assemblies
• Nylon nose reduces surface damage on mating components
• 8-32 thread size fits standard tapped holes
• Initial end force of 2.7 pounds and final end force of 7.3 pounds for reliable detent action
• Standard plunger length type with 5/8-inch thread and body length
• No locking element — installs and adjusts with a standard screwdriver or hex key

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded spring plunger for standard 8-32 tapped holes in machined fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring a standard-length plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard screwdriver or appropriate hex tool. Ensure the receiving bore is tapped to 8-32 specification and is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as the steel body can be damaged in softer tapped holes. No locking element is included, so thread-locking compound may be used if a fixed position is required.
