Index plungers are heavy-duty assemblies featuring a retractable, spring-loaded plunger and a corresponding locating bushing (sold separately). Tapered Index Plungers have a 15° taper on the plunger tip that matches the taper in the bushing, facilitating easier alignment and preventing binding during retraction. A straight plunger option is also available for slightly better positional accuracy. The plunger is fully retracted by a rotary-cam action when the handle is rotated 180°, with hardened steel cam surfaces for durability. The standard-mount configuration shown here includes a whistle notch on the Index Plunger to align with a setscrew. This configuration comes in three sizes, offering both inch and metric plunger diameters.

Standard Mount
The standard-mount configuration shown has a precision ground body with a whistle notch for orientation with a setscrew (also available with a slightly oversize unground body to allow custom grinding to size).
Flange Mount
The flange-mount configuration shown has a precision ground body with a flange used for orientation by fastening with two socket-head cap screws (also available with a slightly oversize unground body to allow custom grinding to size). Flange mounting is designed for installations where a cross hole for a set screw is not practical.
Blank Machinable End
The version shown here has a blank machinable end for easy adaptation to various actuating devices, including automated setups. Precision ground body (also available with a slightly oversize unground body to allow custom grinding to size).
