Product description

This pushing pin is a precision-ground mechanical component used to transmit force within the pneumatic or hydraulic actuators of professional automotive equipment. Typically found in the clamping or bead-breaking mechanisms of tire changers, this pin acts as the primary linkage between the piston rod and the moving jaw or arm. It is manufactured from hardened steel to resist deformation and bending under the immense loads required to seat beads or secure heavy rims. The pin's surface is polished to a fine finish to minimize friction and wear on the surrounding bushings, ensuring a smooth and responsive action every time the pedal is pressed. Because it is a high-stress component, replacing a bent or worn pushing pin is critical for maintaining the safety and clamping force of your Snap-On service machines.

Product highlights

• Hardened Steel: Engineered to withstand high compressive and shear loads without bending.
