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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWN10-2ASLP-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light-duty locking applications. The steel body threads directly into a tapped hole using an 8-32 thread, with a thread length of 0.437 inches. The nylon nose minimizes surface marring on mating components. A built-in locking element secures the plunger in position once installed, preventing loosening from vibration. Initial end force is 0.5 pounds and final end force is 1.5 pounds, making this part suitable for low-force detent and retention functions. The plunger projection measures 0.052 inches with a maximum plunger diameter of 0.07 inches.

This spring plunger is used in light mechanical assemblies where repeatable positioning or soft detent action is needed. Typical applications include fixture and jig work, panel assemblies, enclosures, and machine guarding where a compact, threaded retention element is required. The stubby plunger length profile suits installations with limited clearance behind the mounting surface. This part is installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians working with threaded fastener hardware in standard trade and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 8-32 threaded body for direct installation into tapped holes
• Steel body construction for durability in mechanical assemblies
• Nylon nose reduces marring on contact surfaces
• Locking element prevents backing out under vibration
• Stubby plunger length profile for tight-clearance installations
• Low initial and final end force suitable for light detent applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded spring plunger for use in any assembly or fixture application requiring an 8-32 tapped hole and a low-force, short-projection detent or positioning element.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 8-32 hole using the appropriate driver or hex tool as required by the body design. Ensure the mating hole thread is clean and free of debris before installation. The locking element should be engaged to the specified depth to prevent loosening during service. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the nylon nose or compress the internal spring beyond its rated travel.
