MECHANICAL PINS

For all those applications where two elements require a precise union it is better to use mechanical pins made of steel. Used as an aid in hole alignment they secure two items together.

There are different types of mechanical pins, designed for varius applications but the most common are:

Parallel Pins: Inserted into receiving holes, parallel pins hold together parts of an assembly with friction. They may also be used as location pins. These pins are common in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as in furniture making.

Spring pins: Spring pins expand and create tension against the walls of holes. When inserted through two or more objects, spring pins fix the relative positions of these objects. These stress distributing pins are used as dowels, spacers, and cotter pins along with a multitude of other applications.

Taper Pins: A taper pin is a fastener used in mechanical engineering. They are steel rods with one end having a slightly larger diameter than the other. Used to secure two items together, it is usually used with the small end diameter facing the ground, and the larger end pointing up.

Groove Pins: Solid pins with grooves produced in the metal that interfere with the walls of the hole when the pin is driven in. Groove Pins can be used in many applications.
