Slotted spring pin

Slotted Spring Pins are general purpose components commonly used in numerous fastening applications. Sometimes referred to as Roll Pins, Rolled Pins, Split Pins, C-Pins, Tension Pins, Mecanindus Pins or simply Spring Pins, Slotted Pins are headless hollow tubes with a longitudinal slot down the entire length with chamfered or round ends to aid installation. Slotted Pins are produced to a controlled outside diameter slightly greater than the holes in which they will be installed. The primary spring action of the Slotted Pin is focused on the area opposite the slot as the two halves of the pin compress during installation. Once installed, the pin applies continuous pressure towards the sides of the hole wall. This flexibility allows Slotted Pins to accommodate wider hole tolerances than rigid Solid Pins which results in reduced manufacturing costs of the component. SPIROL offers Slotted Spring Pins in both metric and inch sizes ranging in diameter from 1.5mm / .062” (1/16”) to 12mm / .500” (1/2”) in high carbon, nickel stainless steel and chrome stainless steel.
