Index Locking Plungers are mechanical components with positioning and locking functions that are widely used in equipment or tooling fixtures for quick positioning, fixing, and preventing loosening or slippage. Locking Plungers are precision fasteners/positioning components that deliver pressure via an internal spring and incorporate a mechanical locking mechanism (typically a button or knob).

It is an industrial fastening component featuring a spring and locking mechanism, employed to achieve precise positioning, secure fixation, or rapid adjustment within mechanical structures.

Key Features:

Positioning Function: Pins are inserted into locating holes to ensure components remain in the correct position.

Locking Function: Incorporates a locking mechanism to prevent pins from accidentally disengaging during vibration or operation.

Ease of Operation: Often fitted with handles or knobs for swift manual operation.

Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for machinery, fixtures, jigs, automated equipment, aerospace, automotive, and other industries

Index Locking Plungers are extensively employed in applications requiring precise positioning and reliable locking:

CNC machine tools and machining centres: Used to secure indexing plates, rotary tables, fixtures, and similar components, ensuring accuracy in machining angles.

Fixtures and jigs: Enable rapid positioning and locking of workpieces or movable fixture sections, facilitating swift workpiece changeovers.

Automation equipment and robotics: Providing positioning and locking for robotic end-effectors or tooling plates on conveyor belts.

Medical and instrumentation equipment: Employed in microscope stages, inspection devices, and similar applications requiring precise adjustment and fixed positioning.

Moulding industry: Positioning and locking various components of large moulds.
