Gibraltar SWN10-22BP-G Threaded Ball Plunger 8-36

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-22BP-G is a threaded ball plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light detent applications in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-36 thread size, a 0.094 inch nylon ball diameter, and a 0.344 inch body length with a maximum ball reach of 0.025 inches. The steel body is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, and the locking element secures the plunger in position once installed. This part is typically installed by millwrights, machine technicians, and maintenance professionals working on precision mechanical fixtures and assemblies.

This ball plunger suits light-duty detent and positioning tasks in jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and mechanical panels. The nylon ball provides a low-friction contact surface appropriate for applications where marring or scratching of mating surfaces must be avoided. The 8-36 thread size fits standard tapped holes used in small-format tooling and instrument assemblies. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.25 pounds, making it suitable for low-force indexing applications.

Key Features

• 8-36 thread size for standard small-format tapped hole fitment
• 0.094 inch nylon ball for low-friction, non-marring contact
• Steel body with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Locking element holds plunger securely after installation
• 0.5 pound initial end force and 1.25 pound final end force for light-duty detent use
• Compact 0.344 inch body length suits tight-clearance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded ball plunger for standard 8-36 tapped holes in mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and instrument assemblies requiring light-duty indexing or positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped 8-36 hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate driver or wrench sized for the plunger body hex, if applicable, and do not overtighten, as excess torque can deform the locking element or damage the nylon ball. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installing. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout procedures before servicing any assembly containing this component.
