Light Duty Spring Pins
Spring pins, sometimes referred to as rolled pins or tension pins, are a self-locking fastener designed to use tension to hold two or more components securely together. Constructed as a small hollow steel tube—lacking a head, but featuring chamfered or rounded ends—the pin is intentionally manufactured slightly larger than the hole it will occupy. When inserted, the sprung steel walls compress, exerting outward pressure against the hole and thereby gripping both the pin and the components in place.
Slotted Spring Pins are formed by rolling steel strip to form a slotted cylinder and are produced accurately to a free diameter slightly larger than the receiving hole with one or both ends being chamfered. Larger diameter Slotted Spring Pins may only have one end chamfered.
The Slotted Spring Pin is a low cost, highly versatile component which has simplified many assembly and manufacturing processes.
Light Duty Springs Pins are designed with a wall generally half the thickness of standard heavy duty pins for light duty applications.
Light Duty Spring Pins are supplied to ISO13337 (DIN7346). Available from 1mm to 50mm diameter, lengths of 4mm to 200mm. Normally supplied self colour, we can offer in zinc plated if required. Please enquire.
