Commitment to quality. Check with your seller or manufacturer to find information on the pin s relaxed outer diameter. Slotted spring pin assortments slotted spring pins are also known as roll tension split and expansion pins.

Slotted spring pins iatf 16949 and iso 9001 certifications ensure consistent quality. Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver they re slotted on one or both ends. Coiled pins can be easily identified by the 21 4 coil cross section. A slotted spring pin is a headless hollow cylindrical tube having a longitudinal slot down the entire length with chamfered or round ends to aid installation.

Slotted spring pin assortments. Slotted spring pins are typically one piece with a slot on one side that stays stationary once it is installed. Note the pintool part numbers correspond to the nominal spring pin sizes. Because the slot is pressed closed when the pins are inserted they don t flex after installation.

Spring pins use tension created by compression to lock tight in a hole drilled through two or more components. A spring pin is a hollow split dowel pin that exerts uniform outward pressure when fitted into a nut or shaft hole. The diameter of the spring pin shrinks as it enters a drilled hole.
