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.

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

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

The full length of these pins is knurled for a tight grip that won't spin.

Quarter-groove pins are well suited for hinges or pivots. The grooved end locks pins in position, while the smooth portion can act as a pivot. Also known as type C pins.

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.

Made of compressed wood, these biscuits fit into slots cut into wood. When glued, they expand for a tight fit.

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

The flat side of these pins relieves trapped air, making them easier to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Barbs bite into plastics and soft metals such as aluminum for a strong hold, and a round head gives a finished appearance.

For use with Browning shear hubs, these pins are designed to fail at specific loads to protect heavy duty machinery from torque overload.

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

Often used in cell phones and laptops, these pins attach thin panels such as printed circuit boards to metal and plastic bases. Also known as PEM® TA and T4 TackPins.

Interlocking teeth help these pins resist sliding when exposed to vibration. They have a slot that presses closed when the pins are inserted so they don't flex after installation.

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.

Weld these pins directly to a surface —no mounting hole required.

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.

Maintain consistent alignment in mating parts by installing a pin in one part and a liner in the other.

Screw the shank into a threaded hole for quick installation and removal.

A slightly undersized shank makes these pins easy to install and replace. Also known as slip-fit and lock-screw locating pins, they are held in place by a separate lock screw.

When locating a workpiece using through-hole alignment pins, use one of these bushings and one standard bushing to prevent the pins from binding in your fixture.

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.
