Indexing plungers

Indexing plungers

Elesa indexing plungers are ideal for use in machine and fixture applications to lock items in place, particularly when indexing a range of motion or a series of positions.

These plungers are characterised by their threaded body with bolt and are a good choice for rapid use where a plunger needs to be moved in and out of position quickly and easily. They are also perfect for bearing heavy loads.

In our catalogue you will find plungers made from the following high-quality materials: stainless steel, burnished steel with hardened ends for better performance in the locking operation, die-cast zinc alloy, and technopolymer.

Each plunger’s threaded body is available in different lengths and diameters to meet most of the requirements of the mechanical industry. The diameter of our plungers run from 3mm to 16mm. The range of lengths include:

  • M6
  • M8
  • M8x1
  • M10x1
  • M12x1.5
  • M16x1.5
  • M24x2
  • M6x0.75
  • M8x0.75
  • M10
  • M12
  • M16
  • M20x1.5

Some of our indexing elements provide a series of stop positions for the plunger in the retracted position by the rotation of the knob or of the actuating lever.

By utilising the latest advancements in engineering we have been able to manufacture products with the excellent material that is SUPER-technopolymer. Our range of PMT elements feature locking indexing plungers and components without locking nut, and with or without rest in retracted position. The products in this selection offer lightness combined with high mechanical strength. SUPER-technopolymer is corrosion resistant and can withstand several cleaning cycles even with solvents and detergents. Alongside our stainless steel elements, these plungers are ideal for use in areas such as food or pharmaceuticals. For pleasing aesthetic value, our technopolymer operating knobs are available in a choice of either black or red. This makes them ideal for assigning to different purposes and equipment.

If you require extra security contingency, we also provide indexing plungers with incorporated safety devices to prevent accidental movement of the quick release pin.
