Description
Overview:
These Metric Spring Steel Roll Pins are slotted cylindrical pins used to secure and align components in construction and garden machinery. Made from high-strength spring steel, they compress on installation to create a tight interference fit that resists vibration and shear loads. Each pin has a 5 mm diameter and 40 mm length (approx. 0.197 in x 1.57 in), making them suitable for medium-duty assemblies such as shafts, levers, hinges, linkages, sprockets, and pulleys. Supplied in a pack of 50, they are a practical choice for workshops and site maintenance where consistent sizing and reliable retention are needed. Suitable for equipment such as lawn mowers, plate compactors, generators, concrete mixers, and cultivators where accurate alignment and secure fastening are essential.
Key Features:
- 5 mm x 40 mm slotted spring steel pins (approx. 0.197 in x 1.57 in) for a secure interference fit
- Made from durable spring steel for strength, fatigue resistance, and long service life
- Slotted design compresses evenly to withstand vibration and high shear forces
- Chamfered ends help start the pin cleanly and speed up installation
- Consistent dimensional accuracy for repeatable fits and alignment
- Suitable for correctly sized drilled holes in ferrous and non-ferrous assemblies
- Ideal for shafts, gears, sprockets, hinges, handles, and linkage joints
- Pack of 50 supports routine maintenance, repairs, and small production runs
- Easy to fit with a hammer and punch or press; removal with a drift when required
- Commonly used across construction, agricultural, and garden machinery; other sizes are widely used
Typical Applications:
Used to locate and retain parts on rotating or pivoting assemblies, including fixing sprockets to shafts, securing gear trains, anchoring brake and clutch levers, hinging guards and covers, and aligning couplings or pulleys. Suitable for workshop repairs, equipment refurbishment, and on-site fixes where a quick, accurate, and vibration-resistant fastening is required.
Also known as:
Often referred to as spring pins, slotted spring pins, tension pins, or expansion pins. Some users may call them roll spring pins or slotted tension pins. These terms describe the same style of self-retaining, slotted cylindrical fastener designed for press-fit alignment and retention tasks.
