Carbide headed bushings use a spring steel roll pin; steel versions use spring steel and stainless versions use a 300-series stainless roll pin.

How to install headed slotted bushings

  1. Drill and ream the small hole for the furnished roll pin.
  2. Bore the large hole for a .0003" to .0005" press fit.
  3. Press the bushing and roll pin in together so the slot orientation is correct.

The head can be left exposed or recessed in a counterbore for a flush fixture surface.

Headed Slotted Locator Bushings FAQ

How does a slotted locator bushing work?

It holds a tight tolerance in one direction and full relief in the perpendicular direction. A standard bushing locates the first hole; the slotted bushing locates the second hole without binding, even when hole spacing varies slightly.

Headed or headless?

Choose the headed version when the bushing sees axial load from the pin, or when you want the head to set installation depth.
