Detent pins are the only pins we offer that are not “positive locking.”

One of the major cost factors of true, positive-locking pins is the holed drilled the length of the pin, to accomodate the spindle mechanism. Detent pins avoid this cost by simply using a spring-loaded ball for retention. For non-critical applications, this can be a cost-effective solution.

If you have special requirements (multiple diameters, extra-long lengths, tapered shanks,) call Big Sky!
