Overview
Spring pins and spring locating pins hold parts by radial spring force rather than by thread or head. A slotted tubular pin compresses as it enters the hole and presses outward on the bore wall, so the pin stays in place without a secondary operation and can be removed without damaging the hole. This listing: pin dia. Ø2.5±0.025 mm, spring force 2~5 N, installation method M8×1.25-6h External Thread, external hex, finish Zinc-nickel alloy plain + precote85-3.
What sets this listing apart: Overall Length 14.5±0.25 mm.
Advantages
Installation needs no tapping or threading, removing operations and tooling from the assembly sequence.
Radial compliance absorbs hole tolerance and slight misalignment, which rigid dowel pins cannot do.
Removable without damaging the bore, so the joint can be serviced where a press-fit dowel would have to be drilled out.
Applications
Hinge and pivot locations, locating of fixture plates, retaining of covers and collars, and any joint that needs a removable, tolerance-absorbing locating element.
Spring force and hole tolerance are the two parameters that decide retention; specify both. A pin selected only by diameter may hold in a tight hole and fall out in a loose one.
