Carbon Steel Guide Pin

Carbon steel guide pins are essential precision positioning tools used in industrial tools, jigs, fixtures, and machinery. Made from a tough carbon steel alloy, these pins help precisely align objects and consistently guide moving parts such as dies, molds, and assemblies.

Carbon steel's natural strength and the fact that it's easy to machine make these guide pins a dependable and affordable choice for tough positioning jobs. They make sure things run smoothly and keep the same level of accuracy in different manufacturing processes where keeping sizes consistent is really important.

Why choose?

1.Folks pick Carbon steel guide pin for a few simple reasons: these things are tough, they wear well (especially if hardened), and they're cheaper than stainless steel without being worse. They're stiff, so they don't bend when you push them ,that keeps parts lined up right. They also handle getting bashed around better than some materials, so they last longer.

2.Carbon steel is easy to work with. You can machine it into tricky shapes or hit exact sizes without much trouble. That makes guide pin-carbon steel pins handy for special jobs, all while staying budget-friendly. Bottom line: if you need a solid guide pin that won't cost a fortune and you can tweak to fit, carbon steel's your best bet.

Hardness specifications and wear resistance

Our standard carbon steel guide pin go through heat treatment to get a surface hardness of HRC 55-60. Cranking up the hardness like this really boosts their wear resistance, which is why they’re perfect for high-friction jobs,think jigs, fixtures, and dies where there’s a lot of sliding back and forth. This treatment means they last way longer before you need to swap them out. Basically, the heat process makes the surface tough enough to handle constant rubbing without wearing down too fast.
