While interference fits create tight assembly tolerances slip fits are just the opposite they can easily give you a self locating assembly making manufacturing easier when needing close alignment. Carr lane precision locating pins can be used to locate a workpiece on a fixture or to align two pieces of a fixture. When translation mechanisms are not stable or precise enough to place objects in position for a particular process locating and fixturing pins can ensure an accurate alignment.

Typically locating pins are used for controlled fine tolerance positioning of a work piece. Circuit board hardware pcb are available at mouser electronics. Cast in locating pins for plastics. Choose from our selection of locating pins mating locating pins and hole liners threaded locating pins and more.

One round fixture locating pin and one diamond pin are often used together to locate two holes without binding because the diamond pin is relieved to locate in only 1 axis. Pogo pins consisting of a plunger or head barrel or body and a fully encapsulated fine spring to provide the spring force required to maintain positive contact. For example a pallet that is moved along one axis where the drive mechanism is not accurate and stable enough to place it in a position sufficiently accurate to execute a particular process the use of locating pins may be the best solution. Once set the knurls resist movement letting you align the workpiece with precision on a plate or table.

Also known as slip fit and lock screw locating pins they are held in place by a separate lock screw. We ve explored interference fits and all their design limitations but dowel pins have another application.
