JW Indexing & Locking Solutions | Freer Tool

Freer Tool & Supply distributes professional JW Winco indexing, locking, and blocking solutions designed for precision positioning and automated manufacturing applications. Our comprehensive range includes German-engineered indexing plungers, cam action indexing plungers, clamping indexing plungers, locking pins, and thrust pads that deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

JW Winco components for indexing, locking, and blocking—such as indexing plungers, spring plungers, and ball lock (ball detent) pins—are used to locate, position, and secure machine elements in fixtures and industrial equipment (application dependent). These parts are common in jigs and fixtures, guarding, changeover setups, and adjustable assemblies where you need repeatable positioning and quick locking without complex hardware. Ball-shaped detent elements and spring-loaded pins provide positive engagement for alignment and retention while still allowing fast release when needed.

Types of Winco plungers

Winco offers a comprehensive range of pins. With this extensive range, the right standard part for interlocking is always available for practically every type of application.

Indexing plungers

An indexing plunger is a normed detent device. Standard parts and machine elements can be fixed in a certain position using indexing plungers. They create a secure connection with limited play. The conventional indexing plunger is usually actuated with a pull button.

Cam action indexing plungers

Cam action indexing plungers are a modified variant of the indexing plungers. The lock can be released by turning the bolt.

Clamping indexing plungers

Clamping indexing plungers are used for positioning, securing, and clamping adjusting elements at the same time. Where defined bores are available for engaging the integrated pin, the positive connection typical of a pin is used. At any other position, the clamping indexing plunger utilizes friction locking.

Locking pins

Locking pins are used for quick fixing, connecting, and locking of various parts and workpieces. Pressing the spring-loaded push button unlocks both balls, and releasing it locks the balls again.

Thrust pads

Spring thrust pads are generally used as pressure pins in applications. A spring thrust pad is used when a workpiece has to be quickly fixed, indexed, or positioned in toolmaking or mechanical engineering application. The locking function is simple, useful, and functional. Winco's range is very wide to cover many applications.

Indexing plungers, detent pins, locking pins, and thrust pads for every application

Winco offers the right locking pin for every application. Every pin type is available in a variety of materials. If required, Winco pins can be tailored to special customer requirements.
