Straight Index Plungers
Straight Index Plungers have an entirely cylindrical plunger with a slight radius at the tip, used together with a straight bushing. A straight plunger provides slightly greater positional accuracy. Rotary-cam action completely retracts the plunger when the handle is rotated 180°. Cam surfaces are hardened steel. Made in USA.
The standard-mount configuration has a whistle notch on the Index Plunger for orientation with a setscrew.
Installation
Index plungers are manufactured with precision working tolerances and are designed for very light interference-fit installations to avoid binding of the mechanism. Setscrews with nylon tip inserts are recommended. Setscrews should firmly contact the whistle notch, but not exert significant force.
