Description
Overview:
These Metric Spring Steel Roll Pins are 8mm in diameter and 24mm long, supplied in a pack of 25. Made from high‐quality spring steel, they compress as they are driven into a drilled hole, creating a constant radial force that holds components securely in place. This makes them a reliable choice for construction equipment, garden machinery, plant, and general workshop assemblies. Common uses include fixing levers to shafts, locating sprockets or pulleys, securing hinges and linkages, and replacing small shearable fasteners in light-duty applications. They are suitable for new builds, repairs, and maintenance where a simple, vibration‐resistant fastening is required without threads or nuts. A practical stock item for trades, maintenance teams, and DIY users who need a dependable, reusable pin solution.
Key Features:
- 8mm diameter x 24mm length for standard metric assemblies
- Made from spring steel for controlled compression and strong holding force
- Resists loosening under vibration thanks to constant radial tension
- Straightforward to fit with hand tools or a press; no threads or locking compounds needed
- Useful as a locating, fastening, or light shear pin in many mechanisms
- Smooth cylindrical form helps alignment of parts during assembly
- Pack of 25 covers multiple repairs and routine maintenance jobs
- Cost‐effective, reusable if undamaged, and easy to remove with a drift or punch
- Suitable for steel, aluminium, and cast iron housings with correctly sized holes
- Compatible with a wide range of machinery in workshops, farms, and on site
Typical Applications:
Securing gears, sprockets, pulleys, and collars on shafts; retaining clevis joints and linkages; positioning guards and brackets; assembling hand tools and fixtures; repairing mowers, compactors, generators, mixers, and general plant. Ideal where quick, reliable fastening is needed without threaded hardware, and where resistance to shock and vibration is important.
Also known as:
Spring pins, tension pins, roll pins, slotted pins, split pins (slotted spring type), drive pins (spring), compression pins. These terms refer to the same style of self-retaining hollow pin used for locating and fastening components in mechanical assemblies.
