Hi,
I was hoping someone could explain when and why I would use either of these styles of locating pins. The descriptions given are pretty much the same.
Some differences are obvious. The first link doesn't have a flange. What this means for anything I am unsure but it does mean one less machining operation. They are however only available in press fit type.
The other two links are the same bar their mounting type, one being press fit and the other lock-screw type. The press fit type will be of better accuracy, but why would you ever bother to use the lock screw type then?
Round and diamond pins
Round and diamond locating pins – Press fit type
Round and diamond locating pins – Lock-screw type
Any help would be appreciated.
