Aligneringspinnen

Aligneringspinnen, also known as dowel pins or locating pins, are simple yet essential mechanical components used to ensure precise alignment and positioning of parts. They are typically cylindrical pins that fit into corresponding holes in mating components. The primary function of an aligneringspin is to prevent relative movement between two or more parts after they have been assembled, thereby maintaining their intended orientation and fit.

These pins are commonly found in a wide range of applications, from simple jigs and fixtures to complex machinery and automotive assemblies. They are particularly useful in situations where precise alignment is critical for proper function, structural integrity, or aesthetic appearance. By providing a fixed reference point, aligneringspinnen simplify the assembly process and reduce the risk of errors.

The design of aligneringspinnen can vary depending on the specific requirements of the application. They can be made from various materials, including steel, brass, plastic, or hardened steel, to provide different levels of strength, corrosion resistance, or electrical conductivity. The diameter, length, and tolerance of the pin, as well as the diameter and fit of the corresponding hole, are all critical factors that determine the accuracy and effectiveness of the alignment. Some aligneringspinnen may also feature features like a shoulder or a head to aid in handling or to provide a larger bearing surface.
