Cam Action Plungers

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

WDS already offers a number of index plungers and index bolts, with many types and sizes being available from stock. This product range includes index plungers and bushes, plus spring loaded index bolts. Indexing plungers are commonly used in applications where there is a predefined stop location; which can easily and accurately be identified and secured simply using an index action plunger. Spring loaded plungers effectively make this process automatic. The WDS range is available in a number of sizes: end diameter 6mm to 12 mm; outer diameter M16 x 1.5mm or M20 x 1.5mm; bolt length 46mm or 57 mm; protrusion length 10mm or 12mm, and a handle length of 42mm or 52mm. The weight of the units varies with size from 114g to 188g. The cam action is generated by a collar with an angled free end. In use the handle is turned through 180deg, causing it to ride along the angled collar, moving the plunger which is attached at right angles to the handle laterally to project or retract it from the barrel of the unit.
