Precision Indexing & Positioning Components
Cam-Action Indexing Plungers
Cam-operated indexing components for fast manual positioning and repeated adjustment in machinery, fixtures and automation applications.
Cam-Action Indexing Plungers for Fast Position Adjustment
Cam-action indexing plungers provide a mechanical method for positioning and releasing adjustable components through a cam-operated mechanism. They are suited to applications where repeated manual adjustment and quick disengagement are required.
Typical Applications
- Adjustable machine components
- Jigs and fixtures
- Assembly equipment
- Positioning mechanisms
- Guards and access components
- Industrial automation equipment
Cam-Action Operation
The cam mechanism allows the indexing pin to be retracted or engaged through a controlled manual movement.
The required operating arrangement should be reviewed together with the mating feature and available installation space.
Selecting a Cam-Action Indexing Plunger
Key selection parameters include thread size, pin diameter, stroke, operating configuration, installation space and mating interface.
Material or finish requirements can also be reviewed where specified.
Standard & Modified-Standard Requirements
Standard configurations can be reviewed against the required dimensions and application.
Modified-standard requirements such as thread size, pin dimensions, stroke, operating arrangement or material requirements can also be reviewed based on feasibility.
What to Send for an RFQ
- Required quantity
- Thread size
- Pin diameter
- Required stroke
- Operating configuration
- Installation space
- Mating interface information, if applicable
- Drawing, existing part number or reference product, if available
Drawings or existing part references are especially useful when matching an existing indexing mechanism.
