Retractable Index Plungers
Our Retractable Index Plungers come complete with an aluminium knob, steel spring, and release pin which works together when pulled to retract, allowing for locking or positioning uses within a mechanism. Thanks to the short stroke pin which is retracted during use, these are recommended for restricted applications where there is a need to prevent wasted space.
Each coming with rest position functionality, these Retractable Plungers can be locked in place to hold a position without the need for constant pressure being applied, making them excellent for many positional uses within machinery or appliances.
We stock Retractable Index Plungers in a few different finishes and thread sizes between M8 & M10, each coming with a locking rest position from standard.
