Index plungers

Industrial Index Plungers for Locking and Positioning

BIBUS offers a wide range of index plungers. Index plungers, also referred to as index pins or locking pins, are used for locking or positioning workpieces and tools, as well as adjusting the height of desks, chairs, and structures.

The range of index plungers includes smooth, weldable index plungers made of black passivated steel, as well as versions with screw threads for direct mounting in black passivated or stainless steel. Various dimensions are available depending on the load. Threaded types include versions with mounting hexagons and those without hexagons, which require a special key for mounting. For securing the index bolt, a low lock nut is also an option.

Adjustable Index Plungers: Locking vs. Non-Locking

• Locking: The index bolt remains in the retracted position when the knob is released.
• Non-locking: The pin returns to its original position when the knob is released.

Stainless Steel Index Plungers

Our range includes polished stainless steel plungers in M10 to M20 sizes. With diameters ranging from 5 to 10 mm, each model is available with or without locking. They can also be fitted with a mounting hexagon and are suitable for applications in the maritime industry, food industry, and medical sector.

In addition to stainless steel indexing bolts, we offer steel index plungers, zamak index plungers, and plastic index plungers. Furthermore, our spacers, mounting blocks, and other mounting tools help with the installation of detent plungers.
