Gibraltar SWPF10-2B-G Steel Press Fit Ball Plunger

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SWPF10-2B-G is a press fit ball plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and light detent applications across mechanical assemblies. The body is steel with a black finish, and the ball is stainless steel, measuring 0.093 inches in diameter with a maximum reach of 0.035 inches. Initial end force is 0.75 pounds and final end force is 2.5 pounds, making this plunger suitable for low-force detent work where consistent, repeatable resistance is required. A flanged body design aids in flush-seating and alignment during press-in installation.

This ball plunger is used in precision mechanical assemblies including fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine components where a spring-loaded detent is needed to hold or index a part in position. The press fit style allows direct installation into a drilled or reamed hole without threads, simplifying installation in high-volume or tight-tolerance applications. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and mechanical assemblers working in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Steel body with black finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• Stainless steel ball for durability and wear resistance at the contact point
• Press fit installation — no threading required, seats directly in a drilled or reamed hole
• Flanged body design aids in controlled press depth and flush seating
• Low initial force of 0.75 pounds and final force of 2.5 pounds for light-duty detent applications
• Compact form factor at 0.125 inches body diameter and 0.252 inches body length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125 inch press fit ball plunger with a flanged body and stainless steel ball.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the plunger body into a properly sized drilled or reamed hole sized to the body diameter. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and deburred before press fitting to avoid damage to the flange or body. Power down or de-energize any associated machinery before servicing or replacing plunger components in active assemblies. Do not exceed the rated ball reach or apply side loads that could deform the ball seat.
