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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-2ASL-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed to provide controlled positioning, indexing, or light locking force in mechanical assemblies. The body is machined steel with a nylon nose, and the plunger operates on a spring-loaded mechanism that delivers 0.5 pounds of initial end force and 1.5 pounds of final end force. The 8-32 thread and 0.437-inch thread length allow direct installation into tapped holes in metal, plastic, or composite components. This part is specified by mechanical engineers and installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and tooling professionals.

This spring plunger is suited for light-duty positioning and detent applications in industrial equipment, jigs, fixtures, and tooling setups. The stubby body length of 0.437 inches makes it a compact choice where clearance is limited. The nylon nose protects mating surfaces from marring during repeated contact, making it appropriate for applications where surface finish matters. No locking element is present, so the plunger threads in and out without thread-locking compound requirements unless the installer specifies otherwise.

Key Features

• 8-32 threaded body for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Stubby plunger profile at 0.437 inches body length for space-constrained installations
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial environments
• Nylon nose protects mating surfaces from scratching or marring
• 0.5 lb initial end force and 1.5 lb final end force for light positioning duty
• No locking element — easy removal and repositioning without thread damage

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-thread replacement or new-install spring plunger for any application accepting an 8-32 threaded stubby spring plunger with a 0.437-inch thread length and a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 8-32 hole in the mating component. Use an appropriate hex key or driver suited to the plunger head style and hand-tighten to seat without overtorquing, which can deform the steel body. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain spring plungers under load. Follow applicable machine safety standards and facility lockout/tagout procedures before disassembly.
