WHY USE A SOLID PIN? With so many types of industrial standard pins to choose from, the challenge for the designer is to select the most cost-effective pin that meets the specific application requirements. While more than one type of pin may meet certain requirements, here are some general guidelines when a Solid Pin may be most suitable: • When a head is required for a positive stop or to retain a thin member to a thicker member of the assembly When a smooth, uninterrupted surface is required such as when used in conjunction with a pawl or other angular component When a hollow pin is not suitable...

DESIGN GUIDELINES HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER RETENTION FEATURE SPIROL manufactures Solid Pins with straight knurls, helical knurls and barbs. There are many overlaps as to the applications in which these retention features can be used successfully. Straight knurls have lower insertion forces than helical knurls, offer resistance to turning within the assembly, but provide limited retention when axially loaded. Therefore, straight knurls are often recommended when the pin is used to transmit torque such as when used as an axle to rotate a wheel. Helical knurls provide both resistance to torque and...

MATERIALS AND FINISHESSTANDARD MATERIALSSTANDARD FINISHES Plain/Oiled (K) This finish is a thin coating of dry-to-the touch oil that provides corrosion resistance during storage and shipping. Since this lubricating oil is suspended in a carrier which evaporates over time, the pins are dry-to-the-touch and conducive for automatic feeding and assembly. Passivation of stainless steel Solid Pins is a process whereby surface contaminates such as embedded tool steel and other free iron particles are removed. The sole purpose of passivation is to remove embedded iron; not to clean the part. While all...
