Ganter of Furtwangen / Black Forest has enlarged its indexing plunger range by adding cam indexing plungers. To account for different applications and uses, the cam indexing plungers are available with the plunger pin either protruding in the base position (GN 712) or with the plunger pin recessed in the base position GN 712.2).
The plunger pin can be moved out and retracted by turning the latch anti-clockwise by 90° or 120° over a guide cam.
Ganter supplies the cam indexing plungers with a variety of different guide cams. Depending on cam design, the spring-loaded plunger pin either returns automatically to the initial position or locks in place in the indexing position.
In the safety option design, the plunger pin is locked in the indexing position by means of a safety notch which secures the unit against inadvertent resetting. To move the plunger pin in design version GN 712, the latch must first be pulled out of the indexing notch, while it must be pushed in in design version GN 712.2.
The casing of the cam indexing plunger is made of zinc-plated blue chromated steel. The plunger pins are nitrided.
NIROSTA stainless steel designs are also available as types GN 712.5 or GN 712.6, with the casings made of stainless steel and the plunger pins chemically nickel-plated.
Depending on intended use, the matching GN 612.1 holders can be used as mounting assists. These are available with fixing bores arranged parallel or perpendicular to the indexing plunger.
