As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping.

Thread in a screw, handle, or other part to create the right size and shape guide pin for your application.

Set the tang in a slot below the work surface to prevent thin material from sliding underneath the face.

A good choice for automated clamping, these retractors use compressed air to extend and retract a locating pin, protecting the pin from damage in applications where fixtures move through a process, such as along a conveyor belt.

Noses are up to four times longer than standard long-nose press-fit spring plungers.

Lock the nose in the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

The extra height and smaller width of the grip make the button more accessible in tight spaces. For a more secure hold than standard quick-release pins, these pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

These pins adjust to take up play in a system or hold parts in holes of varying thicknesses. Spin the handle up or down, then tighten the locknut to change the length by up to ½”. Pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

The smooth ring handle on these pins won't catch on parts. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Made from aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, these nonmagnetic, corrosion-resistant tools inhibit sparking. They satisfy OSHA requirements for nonsparking tools.
