When it comes to manufacturing, two of the primary goals are ease of assembly and efficiency of use, as perfectly embodied by the installation method of our knurled press-fit plungers. Originally designed as a detent mechanism for indexing shell plates, they have since been adopted across industries including automotive, medical, technology and more. Below, we examine how such a small part can have such a massive impact by reviewing many of the game-changing applications of knurled press-fit plungers.

One Part with Many Applications

While the knurled press-fit plunger was originally designed for a single purpose, it was quickly discovered that the applications are nearly endless. They are ideal components used to position, secure, quick disconnect, index, locate and detent.  As new technologies emerge, plungers have been used in robotic surgery arms, automotive, truck, and communications components to assist in the 5G changeover.
