Spring Locating Pins-Steel Pin
Spring Locating Pins are press-fit inserts that provide an extremely compact way to apply side force to a workpiece, for positioning or light clamping. The version with a case-hardened steel contact pin and a coil spring, is the most popular. A protective rubber seal around the contact pin keeps out dirt and chips. This type has the most travel, so it allows the most part-size variation. Choice of light, medium, or heavy force in each size.
