Locators

A precision locating pin is commonly used with a matching bushing to align two parts of a fixture. The pin’s head and shank diameters are concentric within .0005" TIR. Available in pin diameters of 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm in metric). A precision bushing is used with a Bullet-Nose Dowel to align two components of a fixture. The bushing’s ID and OD are concentric within .0003" TIR. Available for pin diameters of 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm in metric).

• Imperial and Metric
• A Diameter - 1/4 - 1/2  6mm - 12mm
• B Diameter - 1/4 - 1/2  6mm - 12mm

Pallet fixture keys are designed for securing tooling plates and blocks to standard DIN pallets. Each pallet needs one centre key and one radial key for proper orientation. If needed, the radial key can be removed after the pallet is secured to the machine table. The threaded hole on top of each pin simplifies both insertion and removal. The centre keys featured here are compatible with 25, 30, and 50mm centre-hole diameters, while the radial keys are available for 20 and 25mm radial-hole diameters.

Carr Lanes cone locating pin is designed to be used with the matching bushing. These pins are ideal for the fast assembly of two fixture parts, as they help accommodate significant misalignment. The pin's shank diameter and the bushing's outer diameter are precisely the same, enabling both fixture pieces to be bored for the installation hole simultaneously, ensuring enhanced accuracy. The mating bushing is paired with a Cone Locator Pin to align two pieces of a fixture.  These are offered with 1/2 and 3/4" shank diameters (12 and 20mm in metric).

These precision locating pins are ideal for positioning workpieces due to the broad range of available head diameters, allowing them to fit machined holes in the part.  Along with standard diameters, custom head sizes ranging from .1150" to 1.0400" can be quickly produced in .0001" increments to meet specific requirements.  Typically, a Round Locating Pin and a Diamond Locating Pin are used together to align from two holes without causing interference, as the Diamond Locating Pin is specially relieved for this purpose. The press-fit shank is designed for permanent installation whereas the lockscrew variant is manufactured with a slip-fit shank for renewable installation.

• Round and Diamond Lockscrew Type
• Metric and Imperial sizes
• Shank Diameter - 5/16 - 1
