Abstract
A locating pin assembly is provided. The assembly includes a body and a cylinder assembly for moving a ram in a reciprocally linear manner. A bearing is coupled to the ram and configured to engage a bearing wedge to reduce 'play' between the ram and the assembly. Illustratively, the bearing and bearing wedge reduce or substantially eliminate this 'play' to prevent axial rotation of the ram.
