    Single-End Studs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Single-End Studs.
    Screw the threaded end of these studs into a tapped hole, and use the unthreaded end as a pivot point, hinge, shaft, or locator pin.
    Steel—These studs are steel for strength and wear resistance. They’re best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust. All meet ISO 2342 (formerly DIN 427), an international standard for fastener dimensions.

    Vented Pull-Out Dowel Pins

    Insert and remove from blind holes with less effort than pins that aren't vented. The vent relieves trapped air, so pressure doesn't create resistance as you install the pin. Because they have a tapped end, you can thread in a screw and pull the pin out with a removal tool (sold separately). You can also pull using pliers, but there’s more risk of damaging the hole.

    The flat side of these pins creates a vent that's less likely to be blocked than a spiral shaft, but doesn’t offer quite as strong of a hold.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.

    Steel Headless Slotted Precision Shoulder Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shoulder Screws. Steel Headless Slotted Precision Shoulder Screws.
    With no head, you can flush mount these screws in countersunk holes and tight spaces. You can also use them as pins for aligning parts. They are engineered to tight tolerances for assemblies that require smooth and accurate movement, with shoulder diameters twice as precise as those on standard-fit screws. Hand-tighten with a slotted screwdriver to avoid damaging the drive.

    Threaded Hole Location Gauges

    Image of Product. Back orientation. Threaded Hole Location Gauges.
    Find the true center of threaded holes to precisely align and measure parts. Once you thread these gauges into a hole, their cylinder sticks out as a reliable reference point. They’re often used with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to pinpoint the coordinates of the cylinder’s exact center. You can then use those coordinates to measure distances between points or reference them for error-free assembly. Even without a CMM, you can use these gauges with a micrometer to measure accurate center-to-center distances.
