Safety Indexing Plungers, GN 414

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

ELESA+GANTER, manufacturers of standard machine elements have enlarged their indexing plunger range by adding “Safety Indexing Plungers”.

The GN 414 safety indexing plungers are recommended for operations where the inadvertent or careless movement of the plunger pin must be avoided.

In its basic design (Type A), the plunger pin is locked in the lower protruding position and unlocked only by operating the red safety push-button. In design variant Type B, the plunger pin is locked in the top retracted position and is also unlocked only by operating the red push-button. Type C features a locking mechanism at both end positions. As the locking mechanism in all design variants is fully integrated in the operating button, malfunctions caused by dirt or foreign bodies are virtually ruled out.

The GN 414 safety indexing plungers are made of burnished steel with a grey-black plastic operating button which is temperature resistant up to 80°C. The operating button cannot be removed. The safety push-button is made of red plastic. These indexing plungers are available with and without lock nut. Depending on conditions (e.g., wall thickness), the thread length of the GN 414 safety indexing plunger can be adjusted using distance bushings (GN 609).
