    Threaded Taper Pins

    Tighten the

    nut to draw

    the pin out of

    the hole.

    Threads on these pins stick out for easy removal from blind holes. Tighten the hex nut to draw the pin out. Often used for positioning components and securing assemblies, they taper at a uniform rate to fit in tapered holes. For a snug fit, use a tapered drill bit that matches the pin number for inch sizes or the small end diameter for metric sizes. They have slightly rounded edges to aid insertion.

    Length for inch pins measures the unthreaded length of the pin.
    12L14 Carbon Steel—12L14 Carbon steel pins have good strength.
    ASME B18.8.2—Pins that meet ASME B18.8.2 specifications conform to ASME standards for material and dimensions.
    Breaking Strength—Breaking strength is measured as single shear, which is the force required to break the pin into two pieces.

    Go/No-Go Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

    Speed up thread tolerance checks—the handle on these gauges gives you a good grip to quickly thread and unthread go or no-go gauges. Use these gauges to make sure nuts, tapped holes, and other parts fall within tolerance. All are precisely manufactured to confirm thread fit. If the plug gauges wear down, you can insert new ones (not included) onto the taperlock handle.
    A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge into the part but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.
    Go/no-go gauges have both a go gauge on one end of the handle and a no-go gauge on the other to speed up tests. Go gauges check the minimum internal thread size. No-go gauges check the maximum internal thread size.

    Calibration Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST were calibrated in a lab. The certificate, sometimes called a test report or long-form certificate, details the tested measurements.
    For Class 2B Unified Standard Thread Fit—For inch threads, the higher the class number, the tighter the fit. Unified Standard Class 2B is standard and works for most applications.
    For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.
