Threaded Taper Pins
Threads on these pins stick out for easy removal from blind holes. Tighten the hex nut to draw the pin out. Often used for positioning components and securing assemblies, they taper at a uniform rate to fit in tapered holes. For a snug fit, use a tapered drill bit that matches the pin number for inch sizes or the small end diameter for metric sizes. They have slightly rounded edges to aid insertion.
Breaking strength is measured as single shear, which is the force required to break the pin into two pieces.
18-8 stainless steel pins offer a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. They may be mildly magnetic.

Slotted Ball-Nose Spring Plungers
Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver—they're slotted on one or both ends. The ball nose rolls to minimize wear and allow parts to move in and out of position.
Steel is strong and wear resistant.
440C stainless steel is hard, wear resistant, and mildly chemical resistant.
18-8 stainless steel is chemical resistant.
Spring plungers without thread locker are for use in soft material such as aluminum, in extreme temperatures, and on parts requiring frequent assembly and removal.
Spring plungers with thread locker have a locking element that adds friction to resist loosening.
Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.

Partially Threaded Studs with Cotter Pin
Also known as hood pins, these studs have a cotter pin lodged through a drilled hole in the unthreaded portion for light duty holding, such as securing access panels and locking other fasteners. Stud and cotter pin are 18-8 stainless steel, making them chemical resistant and mildly magnetic.

T-Bolts
Also known as tank-strap bolts, these T-bolts are commonly used with a band clamp or a strap to hold fuel tanks and other objects in place. The large T-shaped head provides a secure grip for steady tightening. Length is measured from the top of the head.
Match the thread spacing of mating components. Fine threads are closely spaced to prevent loosening from vibration.
Steel T-bolts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.
Zinc-plated steel T-bolts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Cotter Pin-Lockable Hex Head Screws
Place a cotter pin through the hole in the shank to keep a nut from loosening (pins and nuts sold separately). These screws have a stronger hold than screws with thread lockers or lock washers. Screws are made to stringent Army-Navy specifications that ensure performance and reliability. They have a precisely measured unthreaded portion (grip). For added strength, place this portion in joints subjected to sideways forces. The cadmium plating provides good corrosion resistance to salt water. Screws have fine threads, which are closely spaced to prevent loosening from vibration; they are not compatible with coarse or extra-fine threads. Length is measured from under the head.

Threaded Locating Pins
Screw the shank into a threaded hole for quick installation and removal. Mate these pins with holes in workpieces for precise alignment.
Diamond-head pins make less contact with the inside of a hole than round-head pins to reduce sticking and jamming.

Threaded Locating and Support Buttons
Use these buttons to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. Their hex shape lets you screw them into a threaded hole with a wrench or socket. Threading makes these buttons easier to replace than press-fit, so they are a good choice for high-wear applications. They’re also known as rest buttons.

Threaded Plug Gauges with Calibration Certificate
These gauges come with a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. They allow you to inspect internal threads on parts. All have a go gauge on one end and a no-go gauge on the other end. A taperlock handle lets you quickly replace worn gauges.
Check the minimum internal thread size with the go gauge end, and check the maximum internal thread size with the no-go gauge end. A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge into the part but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.
Threads have different classes of fit. Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads. For example, inch threads with a 3B fit have tighter tolerances than threads with a 2B fit.
