    Dowel Pins

    Precisely align machine parts and prevent movement during assembly. These dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. They can also be used as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components. Since dowel pins can be hard to remove, they are best suited for permanent fixtures that don't require frequent adjustments or disassembly.

    High-Strength Alloy Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant pins, these won't bend or break from vibration. Use them for high-stress applications, such as mounting and aligning hydraulic cylinders and injection molds. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Material Certificate—Pins include a report with a traceable lot number and a description of their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties.

    High-Strength Machinable 416 Stainless Steel—These pins hold their shape under stress and friction from moving parts. In addition to being the strongest stainless steel alloy, 416 is also the most machinable, so you can shape these pins to fit your hole. However, they are the least corrosion-resistant stainless steel option.

    Install these clamps into fixture plates, machine subplates, and tombstones to quickly swap components in or out of your machining setup. They lock or unlock with the turn of a knob. Since they locate while they clamp, you can accurately position components with repeatability of ±0.1".
    For accurate positioning, use at least two sets of clamps and cam receptacles. Install receptacles into a base plate and clamps into a fixture plate. Line up the two plates, insert the clamps into the receptacles, then turn the knobs to secure your fixture in place. If you need more holding capacity, use additional clamps and receptacles.

    Clevis Pins

    The most commonly used clevis pins—just slide a cotter pin into the hole to secure parts. These pins have a flat, low-profile head to fit in tight spaces. They're less likely to get in the way than pins with a loop grip or T-handle but aren’t as easy to grab if you want to remove them frequently. Add your own cotter pin, or choose a clevis pin that includes a reusable hairpin cotter.

    Carbon Steel—Stronger than stainless steel, these pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These pins withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these pins resist rusting. They're strong enough to fasten most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.
    High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—The strongest stainless steel pins we offer, these are the least likely to deform due to stress and vibration. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, they're suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh conditions and chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

Unlike other clevis pins, you don’t have to reach around to insert a cotter pin or worry about it falling out. These are often used for towing since they make it easy to hitch and unhitch your equipment.

However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.
    Cotter Pin Included—The hairpin cotter is quicker to install and remove than a linch pin but not as secure.
    Linch Pin Included—Less likely to get knocked or shaken out of place than a hairpin, the linch pin has a ring that snaps down and locks.

    The interlocking teeth resist pulling forces that can cause other slotted pins to wiggle out of place. These pins stay in position under vibration and in holes that aren't perfectly round. Compress pins to insert them in a hole. Once installed, they expand slightly and create tension to hold parts in place. Also known as roll pins.
