|
FEATURES: Spring Locating Pins provide an extremely compact way to apply side force to a workpiece, for positioning or light clamping. The version shown here, has a tapped receptacle for installing custom contact pins, together with a coil spring for maximum travel.
SIZES: Available in two sizes, 7/16" and 5/8" body diameter — see Dimensions page for part numbers. Choice of light, medium, or heavy force in each size.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: Dimension E is a theoretical contact height which allows F maximum travel and provides the side force listed in the table. Taller pins will have more travel and less force, while shorter pins will have less travel and more force. To achieve maximum travel at any given height, the bottom diameter of the custom pin should be approximately equal to the C dimension.
MATERIAL: Receptacle > Mild steel, black oxide finish. Spring > Music wire. Housing > Aluminum.
