Understanding the traditional qualities of spring tension pins

Although we live in a time characterised by remarkable advances in technology there are still a good many instances where traditional solutions are relied on for addressing problems. In terms of engineering and machine design, few things tend to illustrate this quite as well or as strongly as the use of spring tension pins. In terms of being a mechanical fastener, the simplicity of its design often belies just how valuable it is.

Hopefully the above reflects the great respect we have for these components. This is also reflected in the world class standards of the products we produce. We know how crucial perfection is in ensuring that they work exactly as intended. To make sure this is the case we design and build pins with great precision, making certain that they are capable of meeting your exact requirements.

The commitment we have to making sure you have the exact specification of spring tension pins required stretches as far as the material used to create them. Traditionally they have always been created from carbon spring steel and usually left with a plain finish.

Whilst the above tend to be the type most required, we understand that different forms may function better in terms of requirements. We’re happy to meet these and can, for example, create the spring tension pins in stainless steel. We’re also able to accommodate a number of finishes, with electro zinc being one increasingly requested.

One of the most well known sayings in the world is “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”. This tends to be all the more true when discussing the design and purpose of spring tension pins. Whilst we wouldn’t set out to change the reliable nature of how it works to fasten or secure, we will always work to deliver the exact shape, style and form that you require.
