Pin Manufacturing
Darlaston Smith Ltd supplies bespoke and precision pins in brass, copper and aluminium, made to customer drawings and specifications from our UK facility.
What is pin manufacturing?
Pin manufacturing is the production of cylindrical metal pins and related precision components to a defined drawing or specification. Pins are used throughout engineering and industry for locating, aligning, securing, guiding and connecting components.
At Darlaston Smith Ltd we specialise in machining pins and components from three core materials: brass, copper and aluminium. We work directly from your drawings, dimensions and tolerances, producing parts that suit your application and production requirements.
What We Make
Pins and precision components across three materials
Copper Pins
Copper combines excellent electrical and thermal conductivity with reliable machinability.
