Index Plungers From Wixroyd
What Is...
Index plungers feature a retractable pin that is actuated to retract and once space is available it extends to index the position. Index plungers can be used to ease the positioning of removeable parts on machines, equipment assemblies and to help locate the correct component. Available with a variety of different grips and locking functions to suit different applications.
Our technical engineers are always on hand to provide assistance choosing the right type of index plunger for your application. Free CAD files are available for our index plunger products to provide you with all the materials you need and save your time.
Pull rings are used for quick and economical solutions where high precision isn't required. Temperature resistance to 250°C.
Pull grip style plungers available in locking or non-locking designs.
Ideal for smaller and lighter location requirements or those with thin materials.
Extended pin to assist locating and indexing. Due to its extended length the pin does not fully retract flush to the plunger body.
Designed specifically for installation via welding or use of glues. Plungers without grip enable your own adaptation with actuation grip/lever to your own design.
These tamper resistant designs prevent unathorised or accidental actuation. Available with grip or safety key.
The T-handle grip makes for improved handling, especially when the operator is using safety gloves etc. Thread recess on body allows full engagement of thread length. Hexagon collar improves leverage for secure installation.
Lever grip handles allow for easy actuation whilst otherwise impeded, for example if safety gloves are being worn. At start position locking pin is protruding, when lever is actuated locking pin retracts.
Actuated by turning lever 180º to retract pin. To enable pin to be held in retracted position, secure lever in notched catch on plunger body.
Push-pull index plungers are Ideal for either pressure (push) and tension (pull) applications, due to the unique designs spring loaded pin with threads at both ends to allow installation of your own adaptor or handle.
Precision Index Plungers Supplied part assembled to enable precise setting, grip and body must be glued after mounting. Non removable once installed.
Distance collars adapt the thread length of index plungers to enable different thread reaches. The steel version is a discontinued line.
