Rod End Nuts

Attach these nuts to rods, pipes, and tubes to make pivoting and hinge movements where misalignment is not a concern. They’re often used to control air- and hydraulic-powered arms as well as other components in power transmission systems. Made of zinc-plated steel, these nuts resist being dislodged. They’re heavy, however, and may corrode over time as the plating wears down.

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.

Steel

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.
