Locating Pins and How They Are Used
This article reviews the various types of locating pins available for machine designers and offers insights into the proper application of each type of locating pin.

Typically, the locating pins are used for controlled, fine tolerance positioning of a work piece. 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.
