    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.

    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dowel Pins. Plain Head, Standard Tolerance.
    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.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant pins, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals. Like 18-8 stainless steel, they're strong enough to join most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.

    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.

    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.

    Squeeze these pins into holes and they expand slightly, creating tension to hold parts in place. They are often used as hinge pins and as fasteners for springs and power transmission components. An alternative to dowel pins, they're lighter in weight with a hollow center and don’t need a precise hole. Also known as roll pins.
    Spring Steel—These pins won't deform from stress and vibration. Although they're stronger than stainless steel, they're best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Pull-Out Dowel Pins

    Remove pins even when you only have access to one end or they sit flush with the surface of your part. With one internally threaded end, they are easier to remove than most dowel pins. Thread a screw into the pin and then pull with the removal tool (sold separately). You can also pull the screw with pliers, but there’s more risk of damaging the hole.

    Strong-Hold Ring-Grip Quick-Release Pins

    A second retaining ball gives these pins more holding power than standard ring-grip pins. They resist loosening from vibration but require a strong tug to pull them out. Good for tight spaces, the split ring folds down out of the way when installed, and you can grab it with one finger to remove. Attach a lanyard to keep pins from getting lost, or add tags to identify components.

    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.

    Flat-Head Quick-Release Pins

    With no ring or handle to get caught on nearby components, these pins won’t pull out accidentally. The low profile makes them similar to basic clevis pins. Although the thin head fits in cramped spots, it also makes the pin harder to grab. A retaining ball holds pins in place once installed—pull to remove.

    Align parts and bolt them together using the same hole. Install the pin and then insert a bolt or screw through the center. You can also use these pins to route wires and tubing without the need to drill a separate hole. Hollow pins are lighter than solid pins, so they’re a good choice if you need to reduce weight in your assembly.
    Steel
    Low-Carbon Steel—These pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They're stronger than stainless steel but not quite as strong as alloy steel. Pins perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Fixturing for Parts Inspection

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Coordinate Measuring Machine Plates and Fixtures. Fixturing for Parts Inspection.
    From towers and brackets to standoffs and supports, these components are the building blocks for your custom fixturing setup. They elevate parts so you can access a variety of angles for measuring and inspecting while protecting your measuring device from hitting the inspection table. You’ll often see them used with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). They’re not for use in machining applications.

    Cone supports have a round pointed tip to minimize contact with your workpiece, so they’re often used to prop up delicate parts. They’re also useful for parts with irregular surfaces that slide off larger supports. Made of plastic, they’re nonmarring.
