The plunger features a zinc-plated steel body paired with a nylon ball, offering corrosion resistance and a low-friction contact surface suitable for use against softer mating materials. The 8-36 thread size, compact 0.344-inch body length, and 0.094-inch ball diameter make this a precision-fit component for tight-clearance installations. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.25 pounds, providing a consistent, repeatable detent feel without aggressive engagement force. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball plunger is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, machine slides, and panel assemblies where a small, reliable detent or locating function is needed. The nylon ball reduces the risk of marring or scratching softer mating surfaces such as aluminum, plastic, or coated steel. The 8-36 thread allows installation into tapped holes in thin or small components where larger thread sizes are not practical. It is sold and shipped as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-36 thread size for installation in small or thin tapped components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon ball contact surface reduces marring on soft mating materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated steel body provides corrosion resistance in light industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 pound initial end force and 1.25 pound final end force for consistent detent engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.025 inch maximum ball reach for controlled, low-profile indexing travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.344 inch body length fits tight-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded ball plunger for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and tooling applications requiring an 8-36 threaded detent or positioning element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly tapped 8-36 threaded hole in the mating component. Use an appropriately sized hex key or driver matched to the plunger drive feature and avoid over-torquing, which can deform the small-diameter thread or body. Ensure the mating surface travel path is clean and free of debris before final assembly. Thread-locking compound is not typically required for standard detent applications but may be used if vibration is a concern in the operating environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.094 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Ball Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SWN10-22B-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699829244210,"sku":"SWN10-22B-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c16404f8f5b96956ca47dcc5acce9498.jpg?v=1788381703","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-22b-g-threaded-ball-plunger-8-36","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
