Precision Bushings & Receivers
Precision Locator Bushings
Matching locating interfaces used with precision pins to support repeatable positioning and controlled component alignment.
Precision Locator Bushings for Repeatable Positioning Interfaces
Locator bushings provide defined mating interfaces for locating pins in fixtures, tooling and machinery. They can help establish a controlled locating point while providing a dedicated interface between the locating pin and surrounding component.
Typical Applications
- Jigs and fixtures
- Assembly tooling
- Inspection fixtures
- Fixture plates
- Machinery components
- Repeatable locating interfaces
Selecting a Locator Bushing
Key selection parameters include mating pin geometry, internal locating diameter, external mounting geometry, installation method and surrounding component design.
The locating pin and bushing should be reviewed together as a mating system.
Pin & Bushing Interfaces
Locator bushings may be used with round, diamond or other compatible locating pin geometries depending on the required locating arrangement.
The mating geometry and installation requirements should be reviewed together before selection.
Standard & Modified-Standard Requirements
Standard configurations can be reviewed against the required locating arrangement and installation geometry.
Modified-standard dimensional, mounting or material requirements can also be reviewed based on feasibility.
What to Send for an RFQ
- Required quantity
- Mating locating pin information
- Required locating diameter
- External or mounting dimensions, if known
- Installation method
- Material or finish requirement, if specified
- Drawing, existing part number or reference product, if available
Providing the mating pin or existing fixture information can help clarify the required locating interface.
