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

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

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

Grooves run the full length of these pins for a firm hold that won't spin. Use them in place of standard dowel, spring, and taper pins to fasten parts. Also known as type A pins.

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.

Use these as pivot or hinge pins. The knurled half locks pins in position, while the smooth half acts as a pivot.

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

Use these pins to fasten components made of soft materials such as plastic or aluminum. Opposing barbs bite into each piece, pulling them together for a tight, secure 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.

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.

A 60° beveled head fits into a countersunk hole.

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

Pass these pins through a mounting hole and weld the head to the surface.

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.

Use an arbor press or similar pressure tool to install these spring plungers into a panel.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
