Custom tapered standoff ??
Custom tapered standoff ??
(OP)
Hello everyone,
First post so hopefully I've followed the proper procedure and posting in the right forum.
I'm looking for a component similar to a tapered standoff at least I think that is what is it called. I attached a drawing of the component I'm looking for.
Would appreciate some feedback on what this component is actually called and where I could find a supplier. Trying to avoid going custom.

Thank,
Alan

do you have some reason to think this wouldn't be custom-produced? It looks like a one-off.

It is pretty much a pin with a groove for c-clip.
I'm trying to find a supplier for these. Approximately 400/annually. Doesn't need to be exactly as drawn.
Thanks,

Well I think depending on your location if you google something like “machine shops” it would produce lots of places where you could get them made and once you have a supplier you could give him the item itself and ask them to make 400 like this 😀

Probably make 400 in a weekend or 2.

Yes, it is very similar to a weld stud but with a taper and a groove for clip ring.
We're trying to find a supplier who has something similar in stock as oppose to going custom which can be very costly.

If this is what you're looking for.

Better to offer no answer than the wrong answer.

Also, tell me if my signature or other aspects disobeying forum rules? If i post any mail, phone, or other instant contact?
Let me tell you why i don't share a link cause there's no link, it's found from a PC software.
Next time, it would be proper to throw a conclusion out after knowing all information.

None of your posts has any more than a Google search provides, often less, no personal experience to help, no leads to applicable information.

Let me tell you what the part apply for, then you can keep away from discussing it with me.
The part is a C-pin to ensure in the process of moving and fixing the mold, it can keep normal alignment, so as to avoid the mold is not fixed in place.
And the software i used is called made todayMIC (if in English)see picture.
Lastly, I don't want to talk to aggressive guys.

I am glad you know what it's for, but that means you also know it won't work for this. So why suggest it? He's looking for a standoff, not a die guide pin. Those are different items.

I assume the part drawing you supplied is in inches but no idea what the material or intended use was.
RE: Custom tapered standoff ??
The chamfer is absolutely required. There is a component that slips into the standoff to lock in place.

This requirement pretty much eliminates an off-the-shelf part.
If you don't care about the surface finish of the large OD (ie these could be turned from 5/8" bar) these might cost you a few dollars apiece. CNC lathe is going to crank 400 of those out in a couple of hours at most.
