TL;DR An indexing plunger is a positive-locking mechanism that requires manual retraction of a pin from a hole. A detent pin provides friction-based positioning by driving a spring-loaded ball into a shallow groove. Use indexing plungers for load-bearing or safety-critical positions. Use detent pins for low-force, frequent-cycle indexing where a little positional drift is fine.…

An indexing plunger is a spring-loaded locating pin that aligns, locks, and secures moving components in a mechanical assembly. Five specs decide whether the one you ordered is the right one: pin diameter, locking mechanism, mounting style, actuation handle, and material grade. The one almost nobody checks is the flexural side-load rating, which falls off…
