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

To remove these pins, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull them out.

These pins make good hinges or pivots. The grooved half locks pins in position, while the smooth half can act as a pivot. Also known as type H pins.

Center-groove pins are often used in place of clevis pins or to create T-handles. The grooved center locks pins in position, while the smooth ends act as a pivot. Also known as type E pins.

Join two pieces of wood with these dowel pins. When glued, they expand for a tight fit.

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

Install or remove these pins from either side. Slide a retaining ring into the groove for a secure hold that takes up less space than a cotter pin.

These pins combine the locking capabilities of a clevis pin with the precision diameter of a dowel pin for a tight fit.

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.

A high-profile knob is easy to grip, but fits in small spaces. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

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.

For the tightest spaces, these narrow-grip pins have the smallest heads of any of our locking quick-release pins. They lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

The shaft on these pins retracts into the head to hold thin sheets of material together. Pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Use a screwdriver to install these receptacles in a threaded hole.

Use these retaining caps to secure the ends of quick-release pins in holes that are oversized or out of round.

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.

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.

Also known as hitch pin clips and R-clips, these pins are easy to install and remove.

Position, pivot, and align components. Also known as pilot pins and PEM® TP4, TPS, and MPP pins.

Screw the threaded end of these metric studs into a tapped hole and use the unthreaded end as a pivot point, hinge, shaft, or locator pin.

18-8 stainless steel studs have good chemical resistance.

These steel studs are zinc plated to resist corrosion in wet environments.

Retract the nose by pulling the knob.

Quickly align, join, or hold machine components in place in food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments. Pulling the plunger knob and twisting it 90° will lock the nose into its retracted position.

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the ring and rotating it 90°.

The flangeless design allows these spring plungers to mount flush with a surface.

Install with a hex key for more torque than slotted long-nose spring plungers.

These spring plungers have a nose that is about three-times longer than standard long hex-nose spring plungers.

Slotted on both ends for installation with a screwdriver.

When installed, these keys fill oval keyways completely, reducing stress on the key and shaft. The rounded ends make it easy to slide gears, hubs, and other components into place. These are also known as feather keys.

Woodruff keys work well near shaft shoulders and on tapered shafts. These keys have a rounded shape that makes them easy to remove when parts need to be taken apart frequently. Use them in light duty applications to connect gears and other components to shafts. Also known as half moon keys.

These keys have a tapered body that wedges in to the keyway for a more secure fit than standard machine keys. The gib head makes them easy to remove when parts need to be taken apart frequently, such as for maintenance or prototyping.

Coiled spring pins are flexible after installation, so they absorb shock and vibration better than slotted spring pins. They also have higher dynamic load capacities and accommodate wider hole tolerances.

Dowel pins are commonly used as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts. They're slightly oversized for a tight fit.

These assortments include various sizes of key stock—choose a piece and cut it to your desired length.

These keys are slightly undersized to fit in standard keyways.

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

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

Install these pins in a plate or table and mate with holes in a workpiece for precise alignment.

Precisely align drilled holes in two parts.

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

These metric Class Z plug gauges are used for precision go/no-go measuring of hole sizes and depths, checking hole location and distance, and setting micrometers. They’re also known as pin gauges.

Take go and no-go measurements with the same tool. These gauges have a go gauge on one end, a no-go gauge on the other end, and a handle with bushings.

These gauges come with a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy.
