Light Duty
Coiled Spring Pins are formed in a much lighter gauge than the slotted version, and the roll is formed of a coil 2.1/4 times to produce similar strength characteristics. This unique coiled spring design gives the pin a set of distinct advantages over other types of pins. Because of the way the coils are layered, the pin can absorb shock and vibration, making it ideal for assemblies where durability and longevity are important. The construction also ensures uniform strength and flexibility throughout the pin, with equal stress distribution that minimizes the risk of failure under load.
Unlike solid or slotted pins, coiled spring pins use their unique spiraled design to flex within the hole once installed. This flexibility acts a bit like a miniature suspension system, allowing the pin to compress and expand slightly as loads shift or vibration occurs.
This movement helps the pin absorb energy from shock or vibration rather than transferring it directly to the walls of the hole. The result? Reduced wear on the assembly, increased life for both the pin and finished product, and a sturdier, more reliable connection overall. Coiled pins are a smart choice where you want a pin to play an active role in withstanding dynamic stresses without damaging the surrounding material.
No special tooling is required for the installation of Coiled Spring Pins. They can be hammered and pressed, and the swaged chamfered ends eases insertion of Coiled Spring Pins, allowing for use in manual or automatic assemblies.
Light Duty Coiled Pins are designed to be flexible and strong enough for light weight or light duty applications. Thanks to their spring-like properties, light duty coiled pins deliver sufficient structural integrity for the assembly, while their flexibility helps prevent cracking or deformation of softer host materials. This combination of strength and flexibility makes them a smart choice when you need secure fastening without compromising the integrity of your components.
Light Duty Coiled Spring Pins are recommended for use with soft, brittle, or thin materials.
