WDS Component Parts Ltd has introduced a new range of compact parking type spring loaded index bolts supplied in a distinctive red colour for ease of identification.
Available with shaft diameters from 3mm to 10mm and head diameters from 14mm to 33mm, with lengths from 5mm to 12mm, the spring loaded index bolts make many assembly and positioning jobs easier and less time consuming. Different sizes provide spring forces from 0.4kgf to 3.2kgf.
In operation the spring pushes the bolt into a corresponding hole, thus locking two workpieces into place with a known force. They can be used for joining two or more parts together, to locate parts into precise positions, for indexing or work holding.
WDS offers a comprehensive range of index bolts in many formats and materials. Each comes in a choice of size and spring pressures meaning that whatever the task in hand, WDS has something to suit.
As with most WDS products, 2D and 3D CAD files are available to download online, so can be incorporated straight into the design files for virtually any type of plant or machinery. Orders can be placed with WDS online or over the phone and for maximum customer convenience there is no requirement for a minimum order quantity. These are fulfilled from stock so delivery is fast and reliable.
