What is a Compact Spring Loaded Index Bolt Standard Type?

A Compact Spring Loaded Index Bolt Standard Type, also known as a Spring-Loaded Index Bolt, is a type of bolt commonly employed in a wide range of industrial applications. It distinguishes itself by its compact and efficient design, featuring a spring-loaded indexing mechanism that facilitates secure and precise positioning. These bolts are engineered to for long term performance, with the hardened pin offering a tolerance within the range of -0.02/-0.04, providing dependable performance and extended durability.

The body of this bolt is made from steel produced to class 5.8 specifications and has a chemical black finish, which serves to protect against corrosion. As for the mushroom pull knob, it is manufactured using red thermoplastic and is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure grip for the thumb. These index bolts come complete with a fixing nut for installation.

Compact Spring Loaded Index Bolt Standard Type adheres to a standard design, rendering it compatible with a diverse array of applications. Its spring-loaded mechanism delivers strength and precision, ensuring consistent and repeatable positioning. Notably, these bolts are frequently employed to prevent unintended positional shifts caused by lateral movements or external forces. To alter the position, manual disengagement of the pin is necessary, after which the index plunger will promptly return to its initial position. Additionally, WDS offers a parking or locking variation of this bolt with both black and red pull grips.

Why use a red index plunger rather than black?

1. Enhanced Visibility: The use of a red mushroom knob can improve visibility and conspicuity, making it easier for operators to locate and interact with the bolt, particularly in dimly lit environments or where colour contrast is essential for safety.
2. Colour Coding for Functionality: Red is often associated with stop or alert functions, which can be advantageous in scenarios where the index bolt serves to indicate critical positions or emergency stop mechanisms.
3. Customization and Branding: Introducing a different knob colour, such as red, allows for customization and branding opportunities, enabling the equipment to align with specific corporate or functional aesthetics.

Ultimately, the utilization of a red mushroom knob as a replacement for the black one can not only maintain the bolt's efficiency but also provide distinct advantages in terms of visibility, functionality, and personalization.

Materials

Steel is a highly versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits in various industries. One of the key advantages of steel is its exceptional strength, making it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity, such as in construction and engineering projects. Moreover, steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and maintain its integrity over time. Additionally, steel is a sustainable choice as it is 100% recyclable, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact. The versatility of steel is evident in its ability to be fabricated into different shapes and sizes, enabling its use in a wide range of applications. Whether it's used in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure development, or everyday household items, steel's reliability and durability make it an ideal material choice.
