It features an 8-32 thread size with a 0.437 inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.070 inches. The nylon nose rides against mating surfaces without marring or galling, while the steel body provides durability under repeated cycling. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds and final end force is 4.7 pounds, making it suitable for applications requiring a consistent, repeatable detent feel. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assemblers install this type of hardware in jigs, fixtures, and production tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spring plunger is used in light industrial and precision mechanical applications where a compact, stubby-profile plunger is required. The 8-32 threaded body installs directly into a tapped hole, requiring no additional hardware. Typical applications include fixture alignment, panel retention, and detent positioning in equipment enclosures, machine tools, and assembly jigs. The locking element is absent, meaning the plunger threads in and out freely for straightforward installation and replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStubby plunger profile with 0.052 inch projection for low-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 thread size with 0.437 inch thread length for direct installation into standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon nose minimizes surface damage to mating components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel body for durability and resistance to deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 pound initial end force and 4.7 pound final end force for consistent detent action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo locking element for straightforward installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-install spring plunger for any application requiring an 8-32 threaded stubby plunger in a tapped hole.

Ensure the receiving hole is tapped to 8-32 and clear of debris before threading in the plunger. No power sources need to be disconnected for typical mechanical fixture applications, but follow applicable machine lockout and tagout procedures if installing in powered equipment. Do not overtighten, as the steel body threads can strip a tapped hole in softer base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.437 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.437 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.052 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Plunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.070 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.051 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: SWN10-2AS-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705248022834,"sku":"SWN10-2AS-G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/082ce00c06e5c2a7b84565e7202da2f6.jpg?v=1788427769","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-swn10-2as-g-threaded-spring-plunger-8-32-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
