An indexing plunger with rest position is a mechanical component used in various applications, such as machinery, indexing clamps or locking mechanisms.
An indexing plunger usually consists of a cylinder with a spring-loaded plunger or pin. The plunger or pin can be extended or retracted by applying or releasing force to it. The rest position is the specific position where the plunger or pin is locked or secured.
When the plunger is engaged in the rest position, it prevents the attached components from moving or rotating. This allows parts or mechanisms to be precisely positioned, aligned or locked in a specific position. When the plunger is released or disengaged from its resting position, it allows movement or rotation.
Indexing plungers with rest positions are often used in applications where precise indexing, positioning or locking is required, such as in manufacturing, assembly or machine tool settings.
