Recently BIBUS added a new product to the range of lifting pins, index plungers with rapid locking head are now available through our webshop. By combining the principle of a conventional index plunger pin with a self-clamping function, this lock pin is ideal for applications where many repetitive connections are made, such as the lighting sector, machine construction and for stage building. This article provides more background information on this innovative mounting solution from Halder.
Fixing in blind holes
The index plungers with rapid locking head AP29 can easily be clamped in blind holes (H11) thanks to the self-clamping function, without the need for additional positioning sleeves. This is made possible by the built-in clamping mechanism. By pressing the button on top of the index plunger, the pin is released to be positioned differently.
This makes mounting or locking of parts easier. A good practical example of index plungers can be seen in this article on the application of indexing bolts and index plungers in lifting equipment.
