Air-Powered Locating Pin Retractors

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.

Floating Locating Pins

The head on these pins slides side-to-side in one direction. Use one of these pins and one standard round-head pin to prevent jamming when loading and unloading workpieces with inconsistent hole spacing.

Press-Fit Locating and Support Buttons

Support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. These buttons press into a drilled hole for permanent installation.

Screw-Mount Locating and Support Buttons

Mount through the counterbored hole with a socket head cap screw to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side.

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

Spring-Loaded Guide Plungers

As the face of these plungers is pushed in, the internal spring applies outward pressure to hold a workpiece in position against stops and rails.

Spring-Loaded Guide Plungers for Thin Workpieces

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

High-Precision Index Plungers

To align two parts with more precision than standard spring plungers, these index plungers have a mating bushing that improves alignment and repeatability.

Spring-Loaded Work Supports

Slide these low-profile supports under a workpiece to provide support and reduce vibration.
