Pins

Dowel Pins

Use these metal dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Plastic Dowel Pins

Plastic pins are a nonconductive and nonmagnetic alternative to metal dowel pins. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Undersized Dowel Pins

Slip these pins in and out during maintenance or prototyping—they’re undersized to make alignment easier.

Oversized Dowel Pins

Oversized to fit worn and enlarged holes, these pins work well as repair and replacement parts.

Flush-Mount Core Pins

A 60° beveled head fits into a countersunk hole.

Ejector Pins

Push parts out of molds with these hardened pins. Also known as knockout and forged pins.

Shoulder-Style Ejector Pins

A thick shoulder makes these pins more rigid than standard ejector pins.

Cotter Pins

Also known as split pins, these have one prong slightly longer than the other so they’re easy to open. Bend prongs outward to secure.

Hammer-Set Cotter Pins

For parts that spin or are otherwise difficult to access, slide these pins in and tap them with a hammer for a temporary hold. Reposition work, then bend the prongs outward to secure.

Slotted Spring Pins

Also known as roll, tension, split, and expansion pins, these pins have a slot along one side that you squeeze closed to install them into unthreaded holes.

Coiled Spring Pins

These spiral pins remain flexible after installation, so they absorb shock and vibration better than slotted spring pins. They work well in holes that are out of round.

Heavy Duty Coiled Spring Pins

For tough jobs, these spiral pins are 30% stronger than our standard coiled spring pins. They remain flexible after installation to absorb shock and vibration, and work well in holes that are out of round.
