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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-2A-G is a threaded spring plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and light-duty holding applications in mechanical assemblies. The body is machined steel with an 8-32 thread size and a 5/8-inch thread length. The nylon nose provides a non-marring contact point suitable for use against finished or soft surfaces. With an initial end force of 0.70 pounds and a final end force of 2.30 pounds, this plunger delivers consistent, repeatable spring tension across its 3/32-inch projection stroke. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and mechanical assemblers install this type of component during fixture builds, jig assembly, and equipment maintenance.

This plunger is suited for light mechanical positioning tasks in manufacturing fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine assemblies. The standard-length plunger configuration and threaded steel body allow installation into any tapped 8-32 hole. The nylon nose makes it appropriate for applications where the contact surface must not be scratched or dented. Typical install environments include production tooling, automation fixtures, and general mechanical subassemblies requiring a spring-loaded detent or stop point.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 5/8-inch thread length for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial and tooling environments
• Nylon nose provides non-marring contact with finished or soft surfaces
• 3/32-inch plunger projection with 0.70-pound initial end force and 2.30-pound final end force
• Standard plunger length type for straightforward drop-in replacement or new installation
• No locking element, allowing easy adjustment or removal after installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring plunger for any mechanical assembly, fixture, or tooling plate with a tapped 8-32 hole requiring a spring-loaded positioning or detent function.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a standard hex key or screwdriver sized to the plunger drive feature. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the plunger. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers. Do not overtighten, as this can compress the spring beyond its rated travel and reduce service life.
