Spring Pins – What size do I order?

Spring Pins can also be known as Roll Pins or Tension Pins.

These kinds of pins are universally used, economical shear-type fastener models, which possess self-locking capabilities. When they are created, they are manufactured to an oversize dimension. This is done so that once the pin has been placed inside a hole radial forces are exerted, holding the spring in position.

Typical uses of the spring tension pins include spacers, hinge and stop, and dowels in countless non-precision and demanding industrial applications.

Finding the right size of Spring Pin couldn’t be easier, Spring Pins are always listed by the hole size the Pin is fitting into. For example, if you need a pin to fit a 6mm hole, you would order a 6mm Spring Pin and then choose the appropriate length of Pin you require.
