Location accuracy is achieved through the close tolerance between the Xpansion Pin's locating diameter and bushing internal diameter. The top of the pins have a slight taper to maximise line contact in the bore, and to provide clearance during loading and unloading.
Pins expand up to 0.7mm, with the pin's diameter machineable to your specific application.
Ideal for quick set-up on secondary operation, water jetting operations, or even applications outside of a machining centre.
Available in long threaded version, or shorter press fit model. Serrated and smooth finish in both M12 and M16 threads.
