Guide & full description

Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 138 - Guide Pin (4 buc)

We're talking about a set of 4 original InkMachines guide pins (spare part no. 138), a precision mechanical component for the InkMachines Scorpion X2 tattoo machine. Their role is to correctly align the moving parts in the actuation mechanism, so that the needle movement stays on the desired trajectory, without lateral deviations. It is a part intended for artists and technicians who maintain their own equipment and want to preserve the machine's precision over time.

How to use

  1. First confirm compatibility: part no. 138 is designed for the Scorpion X2 machine. Check it against your machine's InkMachines parts diagram before disassembling anything.
  2. Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace with a tray or a light-colored surface so you don't lose the small pins. Keep the appropriate tools and the parts diagram handy.
  3. Partially disassemble the Scorpion X2 machine to access the guide area, following the order in the manufacturer's diagram.
  4. Remove the 4 old pins, noting the position and orientation of each, so you can install the new pins identically.
  5. Insert the 4 new pins into the dedicated slots, respecting the correct orientation indicated in the diagram.
  6. Optionally, apply a thin film of tattoo machine-specific oil to reduce friction.
  7. Reassemble the machine and test it empty (dry run): the movement should be smooth, with no visible lateral play and no metallic noise.
  8. Replace all 4 pins simultaneously, even if only one appears worn, so that the alignment remains even.

Tips from us

  • Do not mix old pins with new pins: worn parts have slightly altered dimensions, and the mixture can create uneven alignment. Replace the entire set of 4 at once.
  • Keep the old pins as a reference until you confirm that the machine works correctly with the new ones.
  • Periodically inspect the guide system — for those who work daily, a check every 6-12 months is a reasonable routine.
  • You can recognize wear by: increased play in the mechanism, metallic noise during operation, visible lateral movement of components, or a matte/marked surface on the pins.
  • Work over a tray and consult the InkMachines parts diagram for the exact positioning of each pin — they are small components, easy to install incorrectly.
Warning: Incorrect installation of the pins can cause misalignment of the mechanism, imprecise needle movements, and accelerated wear of other components — therefore always check dry run operation before using the machine on a client. Perform the intervention on a clean surface and, as good general practice, follow the usual machine sanitization and barrier routine before resuming work. Do not use visibly damaged parts and do not force assembly if a pin does not fit naturally into its slot.

Frequently asked questions

Are the no. 138 pins compatible with other InkMachines models?

No. Guide pins no. 138 are specifically designed for the Scorpion X2 machine. Each InkMachines model uses components with its own dimensions, so if you have a different model, check the appropriate part number in the parts diagram before ordering. Installing a part from another model can lead to malfunction.

Can I replace just one pin or do I need all 4?

Theoretically you can replace just one, but the recommendation is to replace all 4 pins simultaneously. Worn pins have slightly different dimensions than new ones, and mixing can create uneven alignment and asymmetric wear. That's why the set comes with 4 pieces — it covers a complete overhaul of the guide system.

How do I know if the guide pins have worn out?

Typical signs are: increased play in the movement mechanism, metallic noise during operation, visible lateral movement of the guided components, or wear marks on the pin surface (matte surface, grooves, diameter reduction in the contact area). If you notice any of these, it's time for replacement.

How often should they be inspected, and do they need lubrication?

The frequency depends on usage intensity; for artists who work daily, a check every 6-12 months is a good benchmark. The pins can benefit from light lubrication with tattoo machine-specific oil, which reduces friction. Preventive maintenance and regular inspection are more effective than waiting for failure.

How do I correctly install the pins?

Installation involves partial disassembly of the Scorpion X2 machine to access the guide area. The pins are inserted into the dedicated slots with the correct orientation. Use the appropriate tools and consult the InkMachines parts diagram for the exact positioning of each pin, then check operation before using the machine.

What happens if I install them incorrectly?

Incorrect installation can lead to misalignment of the mechanism, imprecise needle movements, accelerated wear of other components, and in severe cases, damage to the machine. That is why it is important to follow the orientation in the diagram and test the machine dry after installation, before any session.

Product description

Inkmachines nr. 138 - Guide Pin (4 buc)Includes 4pcs Guide pin for InkMachines Scorpion X2 tattoo machine, original spare part no. 138, set of 4 pieces. Guide pins are precision mechanical components essential for the correct alignment of the Scorpion X2 machine's moving parts. These elements ensure the drive mechanism operates on the correct trajectory, preventing lateral deviations and maintaining needle movement precision. Manufactured from high-strength hardened steel, the guide pins withstand constant friction forces without deformation or premature wear. The set of 4 pieces covers the complete requirement for a service of the Scorpion X2 guidance system. InkMachines, the benchmark Swedish brand in the professional tattoo industry, designs every component with extremely tight manufacturing tolerances. The Scorpion X2 is recognized for its convertibility - it can switch from Neo cartridges with magnetic non-contact system to standard cartridges in just 5 minutes. Guide pins should be periodically inspected and replaced when visible wear, deformation, or excessive play in the system is observed. Simultaneous replacement of all 4 pins is recommended to maintain alignment uniformity. Original InkMachines part with dimensions and quality guaranteed by the manufacturer. Periodic maintenance of the guidance system prevents the accumulation of problems that can damage more expensive machine components. The complete set of original guide pins is available on tatuat.ro with fast delivery throughout Romania and InkMachines authenticity guarantee. Frequently Asked Questions What role do guide pins no. 138 play in the Scorpion X2 machine? Guide pins ensure precise alignment of moving components in the Scorpion X2 drive mechanism. They prevent lateral deviations and maintain the correct movement trajectory, directly contributing to needle penetration precision and consistency. Without guide pins in good condition, the machine can produce imprecise movements. Why are there 4 guide pins in the set? The Scorpion X2 mechanism uses 4 guide pins to ensure symmetrical and stable alignment from multiple points. Each pin supports a specific area of the mechanism. The set of 4 allows complete replacement, maintaining wear uniformity and correct alignment of the entire guidance system. Can I replace just one guide pin or must I replace all 4? While theoretically you can replace a single pin, we strongly recommend replacing all 4 pins simultaneously. Worn pins have slightly modified dimensions compared to new ones, and combining old pins with new ones can create non-uniform alignment. Complete replacement ensures optimal performance and prevents asymmetric wear. How do I recognize guide pin wear? Signs of wear include: increased play in the movement mechanism, metallic noise during operation, visible lateral movement of guided components, or visible wear marks on the pin surface. On inspection, a worn pin may show a matte surface, grooves, or diameter reduction in the contact area. How often should guide pins be replaced? Frequency depends on usage intensity. For artists who work daily, checking every 6-12 months is recommended. Guide pins are durable components but subject to constant friction. Preventive maintenance and regular inspection are more effective than waiting for complete failure. Are guide pins compatible with other InkMachines models? No, guide pins no. 138 are specifically designed for the Scorpion X2 machine. Each InkMachines model uses components with unique dimensions and specifications. Using guide pins from another model can cause machine damage and faulty operation. How are guide pins installed? Guide pin installation requires partial disassembly of the Scorpion X2 machine to access the guidance area. Pins are inserted into dedicated slots, ensuring correct orientation. We recommend using appropriate tools and consulting the InkMachines parts diagram for exact positioning of each pin. What happens if guide pins are incorrectly installed? Incorrect guide pin installation can cause faulty mechanism alignment, resulting in imprecise needle movements, accelerated wear of other components, and potential permanent damage to the machine. This is why it is essential to follow installation instructions and verify operation after installation. How much does the guide pin set no. 138 cost? The set of 4 InkMachines guide pins no. 138 is available at approximately 3 EUR. The low cost makes preventive maintenance extremely accessible. Compared to the cost of repairs caused by worn pins, investing in new parts is negligible and recommended periodically. Do guide pins need lubrication? Guide pins can benefit from light lubrication with tattoo machine-specific oil. Lubrication reduces friction and extends pin lifespan. Use only lubricant recommended by InkMachines and avoid excessive quantities that could attract impurities and cause residue buildup.
