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.

These pins are commonly used as anchors for tension springs. The grooved half locks pins in position, and spring ends fit in to the notch. Also known as type G pins.

Grooves hold these pins in place, and a round head gives them a finished appearance.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The grooves in these pins grip plastics and other soft materials. Press them in to hold panels together. Also known as PEM® TKA and TK4 TackSert pins.

These pins have a flat head to fit into a counterbored hole.

Use these pins with a die to punch 3/16" and larger holes. Pins can be modified to fit your application.

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

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.

Lock the nose in the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

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.

Encase these pins while molding plastic or composite parts. Once set, the knurls resist movement, letting you align the workpiece with precision on a plate or table.

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.
