Product Description
Stainless Steel Indexing Plunger Introduction
●Product Introduction
The Knob-Type Indexing Pin (also known as a Manual Indexing Pin, Quick-Change Indexing Pin, or Handle-Style Positioning Pin) is a precision mechanical positioning component featuring a manual operation knob/handle. It is primarily used in jigs, fixtures, automation equipment, inspection gauges, and various situations requiring indexing or positional locking where rapid, precise, and repeatable positioning is essential. Its core function is to enable the pin to accurately engage or disengage from a locating hole through manual knob rotation, achieving rapid workpiece positioning and clamping/release.
●Structural Features
Indexing Locking Mechanism: Incorporates a spring-loaded structure and precision fit between the plunger and positioning holes, ensuring stable locking with indexing accuracy up to ±0.1mm.
Stainless Steel Construction: Resists corrosion and wear, suitable for humid, high-temperature, or sterile environments (e.g., food processing, medical equipment).
Modular Configuration: Customizable plunger diameter , stroke length, and number of indexing holes to meet diverse equipment needs.
Safety Redundancy: Select models include anti-release safety mechanisms to prevent accidental unlocking.
●Typical Applications
Automation Equipment: Indexing positioning for rotary tables, rapid tooling changes in robotic arm grippers.
Workholding Fixtures: Workpiece clamping and angular adjustment in machining centers and milling machines.
Specialized Machinery: Corrosion-resistant positioning in marine equipment or outdoor instruments.
Clean Environments: Frequent sanitation processes in pharmaceutical or food production lines.
●Technical Advantages
Rapid Operation: Locking/unlocking achieved with a single pull-and-twist motion, boosting efficiency.
Durability: Stainless steel body combined with hardened contact surfaces ensures a service life exceeding 100,000 cycles.
Environmental Adaptability: Operating temperature range of -50°C to 200°C, with optional IP65 protection.
●Usage Notes
1.Ensure alignment between index holes and plunger axis during installation to avoid uneven wear.
2.For high-frequency use, inspect spring tension and locking accuracy every 6 months.
Renowned for reliability and versatility, this product serves as an ideal positioning solution for precision machinery, automated production lines, and specialized equipment industries.
