What is a guide pin?

The guide pin is a frequently used way of maintaining consistency in a number of mechanical applications. The guide pins are used in applications that require consistency when repeatedly moving moving parts within the mechanism. Usually machined from hardened metal can be made guide pins in any dimension or size depending on the mechanism or application in which they are used. Such pins can also be modeling to become a stationary part of the chassis or otherwise immovable component, or a removable part in a mechanical application that does not require a pin to be a permanent accessory. They can also be used as a means to correctly align one component of a two -piece system with another. In fact, the PIN can come in the form of a screw with a tapering end or even in a bullet -shaped shape with a corresponding piece containing metal or a plasticized bushing of each contact point. Bushings would allow guide pins to penetrate the secondary component to secure overThe configuration of both parts of the assembled.

Most often the guide pin is a screw mechanism. The mechanism with the fiber into the machined holes in the part in which the pin is to be integrated. This means that complete customization with any application or design is allowed.

6 The result is that the material from which the PIN is made is also directly dependent on its intended application, because some applications require stronger materials than others. Most industrial applications require the application of hardened steel or other metal. Wolfram carbide is another common material used and provides structural power and accurate occupant due to its strength and durability.

The guide is usually machined by the lathe process, rotated and cut off from steel semi -finished products and treated to ensure stability and strength. In cases where the pin is to hold the corresponding piece even after the materials are thoroughly withBound, the grip is made of the same material as the pin, often to maintain the integrity of the connection between the two components. When the guide pin used is much heavier than the material from which the corresponding piece is made, the guide pin can often damage the material and leave the room at the connection point for shift.
