This component is used in the following industrial products
The main structural component of a container infeed starwheel that provides mounting points for starwheel arms and guides containers during transfer.
Structural component providing rigidity and mounting support for water-cooled copper mold assemblies
A critical component in CNC press brakes that securely holds and positions the punch tool during metal bending operations.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Manufacturer profiles associated with Alignment Features.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
The most common types are keyways (standard or Woodruff), precision pin holes, and registered flange faces. Keyways provide positive rotational locking, pin holes offer radial alignment, and flange faces ensure axial positioning.
Proper alignment features prevent angular drift, reduce wear on mating components, maintain consistent indexing accuracy, and minimize vibration. Poor alignment leads to premature failure, product misalignment, and reduced machine efficiency.
