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.

Metric

Length for metric pins measures the overall length, including the thread.

12L14 Carbon Steel—12L14 Carbon steel pins have good strength.

Breaking Strength—Breaking strength is measured as single shear, which is the force required to break the pin into two pieces.

L-Handle Retractable Spring Plungers

The L-handle on these spring plungers takes up less space than a T-handle and swivels to avoid obstacles. Pull it back to manually retract the nose and position, align, and lock components as needed for your job.

Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.

Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant noses, these won't deform from stress and vibration. Steel is best for dry environments, however, since moisture will cause it to rust.

18-8 Stainless Steel Nose—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, 18-8 stainless steel resists rusting. It's strong enough for most jobs, but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.

Twist-to-Lock—Free up both hands to adjust your workpiece or switch out parts without the plunger springing back and getting in the way. Pull back the handle and twist to lock the nose in its retracted position.

T-Handle Retractable Spring Plungers

With the widest grip, T-handles give you the most leverage of all our handles and are the easiest to grab with gloved or slippery hands. A tug manually retracts the nose so you can do everything from latching heavy, frequently-accessed doors to locking large cutting blades in place.

Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.

Sanitary Retractable Spring Plungers

With rounded edges and polished surfaces, these spring plungers are free of nooks and crannies where dirt, water, and bacteria could collect. The seal on the base keeps contaminants off the threads and is bright blue, so you can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. A tug of the knob manually retracts the nose so you can do everything from positioning containers on an assembly line to locking mixing blades in place. Spring plungers are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

316 Stainless Steel Nose—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and detergents.

Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Align, position, and lock moving parts for most machining and assembly tasks. These spring plungers have a spring-loaded ball that compresses when a part presses against it, and then pops out into a notch or groove to hold the part in place. Unlike long-nose spring plungers, the ball rolls easily in and out of position, so they're a great fit for applications that require consistent, smooth movement, such as positioning parts in an assembly line and aligning fixtures and jigs when cutting or drilling.

Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.

440C Stainless Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant stainless steel noses, these grind against hard metal surfaces without denting or scratching. However, they are not as corrosion resistant as 316 stainless steel.

Nylon Nose—Extra soft to avoid scratching delicate surfaces. Nylon is best for use on soft materials, such as aluminum. It will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture, however, so it should only be used in dry environments.

Quick-Release-Pin Hoist Rings—For Lifting


180° Pivot	180° Pivot and 360° Swivel


Retractable Threads	180° Pivot

360° Swivel

Easily slip these hoist rings in and out of threaded holes by pushing the button to retract their threads. Install them flush to your mounting surface. Ideal for angular lifting, these hoist rings withstand stresses that break or bend eyebolts.

All are CE marked, so they meet European safety standards.

Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

180° Pivot—The ring on 180° pivot hoist rings moves from front to back. Their base does not swivel for added stability.

180° Pivot and 360° Swivel—180° pivot and 360° swivel hoist rings not only have a ring that moves from front to back, but their base also swivels to handle pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads.

Long-Nose Spring Plungers For Ejecting

Punch large parts free from presses or dies with a nose that’s three times longer than others. These spring plungers also have a long spring that doesn’t need to compress as far to retract the nose, so it can handle high speed, repetitive ejecting jobs without wearing down.

Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant noses, these won't deform from stress and vibration. Steel is best for dry environments, however, since moisture will cause it to rust.

Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Lock heavy moving parts securely in place. Often used in indexing applications, these have a longer nose than ball-nose spring plungers to withstand greater side forces without disengaging. The nose compresses when a part presses against it, and then pops out into deep notches or grooves for a strong hold.

Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.

Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant noses, these won't deform from stress and vibration. Steel is best for dry environments, however, since moisture will cause it to rust.

Acetal Nose—The best plastic for damp and wet environments, acetal won't swell or lose strength if exposed to moisture. These noses are extra soft to avoid scratching delicate surfaces. They are best for use on soft materials, such as aluminum.

Go/No-Go Left-Hand Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

A go and no-go gauge in one, these gauges check that left-hand threads fall within tolerance. Use them to confirm thread fit for nuts, tapped holes, and other parts. The taperlock handle speeds up tests, giving you a good grip to thread and unthread each gauge end. It also lets you swap out worn gauges for new ones (not included) on either end.

The go gauge checks the minimum internal thread size, and the no-go gauge checks the maximum. A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.

Class X Gauge

Plug Gauges with Accuracy Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with an accuracy certificate traceable to NIST include verification from the manufacturer that their thread sizes are within tolerance. The certificate is also known as a certificate of compliance or a short-form certification.

Plug Gauges with 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 Metric Class 6H Thread Fit—For metric threads, the higher the class number, the looser the fit. Class 6H is the metric standard and works for most applications.

For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.

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.
