  • Index Plungers

    Index plungers are mechanical components used to accurately locate, lock, or index parts into a fixed position. Index plungers consist of a plunger pin, a spring mechanism, and a body housing. By pulling, pushing, or twisting the knob or handle, the plunger pin can be retracted to allow movement, and releasing it lets the spring extend the pin into a mating hole, notch, or slot, securing the part in place.
