Pins

Pins are simple yet essential mechanical components used in a wide range of applications across various industries. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, and they serve diverse functions depending on the context in which they are used. Here's an overview of pins:

Key Features

• Straight Pins: Also known as dowel pins, straight pins are cylindrical rods with uniform diameters used to align and join components in machinery and equipment.
• Roll Pins:Roll pins, also called spring pins, are cylindrical pins with a split down the side, allowing them to compress slightly to fit into holes, providing a secure and resilient fastening solution.
• Cotter Pins: Cotter pins are bent metal pins with one end split in two, forming prongs that can be spread apart after insertion to secure nuts, bolts, or other fasteners.
• Taper Pins: Taper pins have a tapered shape, often used for aligning and securing components in machinery where disassembly and reassembly are required.
• Grooved Pins:: Grooved pins have one or more grooves along their length, providing additional grip and stability when inserted into a hole.
• Clevis Pins:Clevis pins are cylindrical pins with a hole drilled through the end, used with a cotter pin to secure objects like shafts or clevises.
