News from Ganter in Furtwangen

The standard element maker Ganter has enlarged its "locking plungers" product range with an innovative product.

The indexing pin of the GN 514 locking plunger is moved by means of a spring-operated cardioid curve. By simply pressing the operating button, this cardioid mechanism causes the indexing pin to extend and retract (PUSH-PUSH locking mechanism). This function is similar to that used in a ballpoint pen.

Please note that the indexing pin cannot absorb axial forces and that it retracts virtually by spring action alone. The indexing pin must therefore remain free and easy to move. The indexing pin is made of nitrided and burnished steel. The mat black knob is made of plastic (polyamide PA).

Instead of the lock nut, the unit can also be fitted using the distance bushings GN 609 (steel) or GN 609.5 (high-grade steel), allowing the threaded length of the indexing plunger to match the thickness of the application in hand. The distance bushings are available in steel or high-grade steel design versions.
