Also known as roller, tension, split, and spreader pins, these pins have a slot on one side that you squeeze to install in unthreaded holes. Once installed, they expand slightly, creating an outward tension that holds them tight to the hole wall. These pins absorb shock and vibration in your system and prevent parts from becoming loose. They are often used as hinge pins or to hold springs and power transmission components in place.

Install these pins in a hole. They have at least one beveled end, meaning the end is angled to make insertion easier.

Break strength is measured as double shear, which is the force required to break a pin into three pieces.

Some metric pins of the same diameter come in two different wall thicknesses. Thinner walls are more flexible, easier to install, and don't put as much stress on your assembly as thicker pins. Place a thin-walled pin in a thicker-walled pin to increase breaking strength. Make sure the slots face each other for maximum strength.

Steel pins are strong and wear-resistant. Pins with a black phosphated or zinc plated finish have an outer layer to protect the underlying steel from rusting.
