Indexing plungers are used where it is necessary to prevent changes of position due to lateral forces.
Some examples of this are for length, height and position indexing in machines, equipment, furniture and special vehicle construction.
Pneumatic indexing plungers are operated by compressed air. This facilitates automatic retraction or extension of the indexing pin.
In addition, the indexing point can be located in an area inaccessible for manual operation.
By the version with status sensor, the actuation status can be detected and evaluated electronically.
For this purpose, the magnetic field sensor is clamped in the slot profile of the sensor holder. The status sensor and sensor holder can be moved axially and secured to suit the desired sensing position.
