Cam-action indexing plungers, barrel slide bolts from norelem
Cam-action indexing plungers and barrel slide bolts are standard parts that play a decisive role in the industry. The standard parts are used to safeguard systems and control access to various areas. Both standard parts serve to protect employees, systems and valuable resources. Cam-action indexing plungers and barrel slide bolts differ in terms of their functionality and areas of application.
Regardless of whether they are used in machine rooms, storage areas with hazardous substances or other critical zones – cam-action indexing plungers are designed to prevent unauthorised access. This ensures the safety of employees and the integrity of production processes. In contrast, barrel slide bolts focus specifically on securely closing and locking gates, doors or other openings within the industrial system.
One thing is certain, however. Both standard parts are considered key components in the industrial environment. The combined application of these standard parts enables a holistic approach to safeguarding industrial systems.
What are cam-action indexing plungers?
Cam-action indexing plungers are safety devices that are used to control access to specific areas within production systems or industrial facilities. They are widely used in various areas where the targeted control and safeguarding of access areas is of great importance. In industrial systems, they are used to restrict access to sensitive production areas in order to ensure the safety of employees and the protection of system resources.
In logistics and warehousing, cam-action indexing plungers are used to control access to storage areas or high-bay warehouses and prevent unauthorized access. In machine construction, they secure machines and systems against unauthorized access, while in public institutions such as schools, universities or authorities, they help to reserve certain areas for authorised personnel.
The versatility of the plungers makes them indispensable safety components in a wide variety of environments where the protection of people and machinery is paramount. The operating principle of cam-action indexing plungers is usually quite simple, but extremely effective.
The cam-action indexing plunger is placed in the desired position to block access to an area. Most cam-action indexing plungers use a bolt mechanism. This bolt is moved into the locking position manually or by another power source. In this position, the bolt prevents the door or access from being opened.
Cam-action indexing plungers equipped with a lock nut are positioned with the locknut opposite the main nut. To prevent unintentional loosening of the cam-action indexing plunger and to provide additional stability and safety.
To remove the cam-action indexing plunger or to release access, the bolt is retracted or unlocked.
Overall, cam-action indexing plungers help to create a safe environment, whether in industrial, public or private contexts. Their flexibility and versatility make them an indispensable element in the safety management of a wide range of facilities and systems.
What are barrel slide bolts?
A barrel slide bolt is a safety device that is used to lock doors, gates, hatches or other openings. The operating principle of cam-action indexing plungers aims to provide a secure and reliable locking mechanism. This is intended to control access to certain areas and ensure safety.
The barrel slide bolt consists of several components, including a housing, a bolt or locking element and, if necessary, a grip for manual operation. The housing is mounted on a fixed structure (e.g. door or gate frame). The actual locking element is the bolt or locking bar. This moves into a locking position to securely close the door or gate. This can be done by turning a grip, pushing a lever or using other manual or automated mechanisms.
Many barrel slide bolts have a grip or other fixture that allows the bolt to be moved manually and the lock to be opened or closed.
The use of high-quality materials such as stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys ensures the durability and reliability of the barrel slide bolt, especially under different external pressures.
Barrel slide bolts are used in a wide variety of applications and industries. In industrial plants, they are used to control and restrict access to sensitive production areas in order to ensure the safety of employees and systems.
In machine construction, barrel slide bolts play a crucial role by protecting machines and systems from unauthorised access. They are used in warehouses and logistics centres to control access to storage areas and prevent theft.
Their versatility makes them indispensable safety components in numerous industries and applications.
