Knurled index plungers allow quick and accurate repositioning

WDS is launching a new range of knurled index plungers for applications that require reliable and quick fastening of moving parts. Ergonomically designed with easy-grip knurling, they can quickly be retracted and locked by simply pulling the plunger and rotating it a ¼ turn. The new product range is suitable for manually repositioning the indexed parts on jigs and adjustable assembly units where pre-determined positioning locations have been designed in.

Constructed from zinc-plated steel or stainless steel, the plungers are suitable for use in machine applications, where they will frequently be exposed to coolants and lubricant, without risk of damage. Available as standard in thread sizes between M6 and M12 with plunger diameter ranges between 3mm and 6mm, the knurled index plungers are held in stock allowing for next-day delivery in most circumstances.

If a customer requires something less standard, WDS also offers a full design consultation "Specials Service' that can produce a modified indexing plunger at competitive prices, and with short lead times.

All products are available with no minimum order quantity and without a small order surcharge, meaning that customers have complete flexibility when placing an order. The complete WDS catalogue features over 15,000 standard parts for machine build and workholding products and is accessible online at www.wdsltd.co.uk where customers can place orders and download fully annotated 3D files of standard parts - including the full range of knurled index plungers to suit most currently supported 3D CAD packages.
