Clamping and Workholding

Screw-Mount Locating and Support Buttons

Mount through the counterbored hole with a socket head cap screw to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side.

Spring-Loaded Guide Pins

As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping.

Sealed Spring-Loaded Guide Pins

Sealed at the top to prevent debris from getting inside and making them seize up, these guide pins are a good choice for machining fixtures.

Spring-Loaded Guide Plungers

As the face of these plungers is pushed in, the internal spring applies outward pressure to hold a workpiece in position against stops and rails.

Inspection and Measuring Fixturing

Use these components in coordinate measuring machine (CMM) applications to raise a workpiece and reliably position it on a fixture plate with ¼"-20 holes.

Pins

Plastic Dowel Pins

Plastic pins are a nonconductive and nonmagnetic alternative to metal dowel pins. Use them as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.

Choose-a-Color T-Handle Locking Quick-Release Pins

Use these pins for visibility or to color-code processes. For a more secure hold than standard quick-release pins, they lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Clamp-Action Locking Quick-Release Pins

The shaft on these pins retracts into the head to hold thin sheets of material together. Pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Quick-Release Pins for Access Panels

Attach these pins to a machine cover or access panel, then clip them in to receptacles installed in the enclosure for quick access. Pins lock in place until you release them.

Ball-Grip Quick-Release Pins

A smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

T-Handle Quick-Release Pins

A T-handle makes these pins easy to grip. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Knob-Grip Quick-Release Pins

A high-profile knob is easy to grip, but fits in small spaces. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Magnetic Quick-Release Pins

A strong magnet in the head holds these pins in place on steel and other ferrous metals. Use them for light duty applications and blind holes.

Retractable Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Twist-to-Lock Knob-Style Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

Knob-Style Retractable Spring Plungers

Retract the nose by pulling the knob.

Twist-to-Lock L-Handle Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the handle and rotating it 90°.

Twist-to-Lock T-Handle Weld-Mount
Retractable Spring Plungers

A quarter turn of the handle locks these plungers in the retracted position. The T-handle is easy to grip.

T-Handle Weld-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

A T-handle makes these spring plungers easy to grip.

Twist-to-Lock Ball-Style Weld-Mount
Retractable Spring Plungers

A quarter turn of the handle locks these plungers in the retracted position. The smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts.

Ball-Style Weld-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

A smooth ball handle is easy to grip and won't catch on other parts.

Plate-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

Two holes in the plate allow these plungers to be mounted to a flat surface.

Twist-to-Lock Plate-Mount Retractable Spring Plungers

Lock the nose into the retracted position by pulling the knob and rotating it 90°.

Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Press-Fit Long-Nose Spring Plungers

A flange keeps the plunger from being pushed through a hole when the ball is depressed.

Hex-Drive Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Install with a hex key for more torque than slotted long-nose spring plungers.

Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Install with a driver.

Slotted Long-Nose Spring Plungers

Slotted on both ends for installation with a screwdriver.

Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Press-Fit Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Designed with a flange to keep the plunger from being pushed through a hole when the ball is depressed.

Slotted Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver—they're slotted on one or both ends.
