Indexing Plunger With Mounting Flange

MS1147
The Indexing Plunger With Horizontal Mounting Flange is an industry standard for quick positioning and locking with a horizontal mounting flange for lateral or surface mounting. The built-in spring mechanism ensures that the pin extends precisely when needed for efficient and safe positioning and unlocking. Indexing Plunger With Mounting Flange, typically referred to as an indexing plunger with mounting flange or a flanged indexing pin. It constitutes a manual indexing positioning device incorporating an integrated mounting flange.

Its core function lies in achieving precise positioning and locking of equipment through a convenient manual operating mechanism (such as a button or handle), whilst providing an exceptionally stable and reliable mounting solution for the entire assembly via its integral flange.

Workflow:

Installation: Secure the entire plunger in its working position by inserting screws through the holes in the flange plate.

Locked State: Under spring force, the locking pin at the plunger's front extends and engages the target object's locating hole, securing it in place.

Unlocking: When the operator presses the button or lifts the handle, the internal mechanism retracts the locking pin, allowing the target object to be moved.

Repositioning: Move the target object to the next position, release the operating mechanism, and the locking pin springs into the new locating hole to complete the locking action.

Common Application Scenarios
This flanged plunger is widely used in applications that require rugged mounting and precise positioning:

Machine tools and machining centres: to fix indexing dials, rotary tables and to lock machine guards.

Workholding fixtures: as quick positioning and locking mechanisms for fixture plates, moulds and workpieces, and as one of the core components of modular fixture systems.

Automation equipment: Provides reliable position locking for robot end-effector (EOAT), tool changer or slide module.
