Push-push indexing plungers for hand or foot operation

The new metal GN514 series of push-push indexing plungers from Elesa provides the option of hand or foot operation where push-to-lock and push-to-disengage operation is a big advantage.

Applications include rotating fireplaces or filing cabinets – tambas – where the operator may be required to reach some distance, or where a foot operation may simply be more convenient.

This push-push arrangement provides a locking function in both extended and retracted positions.

GN514 indexing plungers feature black oxide nitride steel bodies with glass reinforced polyamide control push buttons in sizes M6 and M8, offering this elegantly simple plunger operation – push and the plunger retracts and locks, push again for the plunger to extend and lock.
