FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Important Advantages of Grooved Pins
● They withstand severe shock and vibration
● They are solid
● They are available in different groove types to suit a wide range of applications
● They require only a straight drilled hole
● They reduce the number of steps in your assembly operation
● They may be driven with a hammer, air cylinder, or hydraulic press
● They may be hopper-fed for automatic installation
● They allow easy installation and quick assembly
● They can be removed and reused
Twice the Shear Strength
The Pin is a solid metal pin with up to twice the shear strength of a spring pin of the same diameter. The shear
resistance of steel Grooved Pins can be 40% higher than that of a heavy-duty spring pin. Grooved Pins also provide a
smooth surface around the diameter and uniform diameter along the unexpanded length for better cosmetic
appearance and superior performance as an axle or hinge pin. The smooth surface along the unexpanded length and at
the ends reduces the accumulation of abrasives and other undesirable materials. The strength of the solid pin body is
not orientation-dependent, as is the case with some spring pins.
Shock and Vibration Resistance
The spring-like locking force created by the Grooved Pin, in a hole the size of the pin nominal diameter, is very resistant
to vibration and shock. In fact, forces greater than the maximum insertion force are required to move a fully engaged
pin. Even in the case of axial displacement, the Grooved Pin retains holding force until it is fully disengaged.
Simple Installation
The Pin can be driven manually or automatically, by hammer, air cylinder, or hydraulic press. Also, it is a
one-piece retainer. Simplicity of installation can speed assembly and save labor cost.
