Indexing plungers
Standard components for manual or automated quick locking of moving parts.
⯀ Threaded body in steel, stainless steel, SUPER-Technopolymer.
⯀ Bolts made from quality materials and with precise tolerances to offer high locking forces and secure locking.
⯀ Also available in a version that allows the bolt to be locked in the retracted position.
⯀ Operation via knobs, levers, rings, or rods in various materials and shapes.
⯀ Stainless steel spring.
How indexing plungers work
An indexing plunger creates a separable geometric coupling between a fixed component and a moving component. By operating the knob (pulling or pressing) the bolt allows the component to be locked or unlocked. By pulling the knob axially, the contrast exerted by the spring pressure is overcome and the bolt is raised to change the positioning.
The locking indexing plunger is particularly easy to unlock: once pulled out of the groove, the lever automatically slides along the spring-guided curve. The component then returns to the locked position.
Locking pins
Standard components with balls and detents for quick fastenings between components or parts being machined, particularly when they must be removed and frequently repositioned. By pressing the button, the balls or detents are released allowing the locking pin to be freely removed and repositioned.
Spring plungers
Spring plungers can be used to fix moving parts in specific positions, even in the presence of vibrations. A wide range of spring plungers are available in numerous material combinations. They can be equipped with a normal or reinforced spring. The range includes movable balls to reduce wear, plastic bearings for electrical insulation or the application of a thread lock.
