Locating Pin Retractors
Use the handle on these retractors 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. Retractors are production-grade and designed for high-volume use.
Secure a locating pin to the top of the retractor using four M5 set screws (not included). For easy alignment, shoulder-style locating pins are recommended.
Air-Powered Locating Pin Retractors
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. Commonly used in automated welding applications, the highly accurate air cylinder ensures repeatable locating. Each retractor has two air inlet ports, one extends the pin and the other retracts.
Retractors have a position sensor with an M12 connection for activating relays and controllers in automated processes.
Secure a locating pin to the top of the retractor using four M5 set screws (not included). For easy alignment, shoulder-style locating pins are recommended.
