Description
Overview:
Metric spring steel roll pins with a 3mm diameter and 40mm length, supplied in a pack of 100, for fast, reliable retention of parts in machinery and equipment. Made from resilient spring steel, the slotted design compresses on installation and springs back to create a secure, vibration‐resistant interference fit in a correctly sized drilled hole. Suitable for construction plant, garden machinery, automotive assemblies, fixtures, and general workshop use, including shafts, levers, linkages, hinges, and jigs. These pins help align, locate, and secure components without the need for threads or nuts, and can be driven out for servicing when required. Consistent dimensions support repeatable results in both maintenance and light production work. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 903 1462.
Key Features:
- Metric size: 3mm diameter x 40mm length for common repair and assembly tasks
- Pack of 100 for convenient stocking, batch work, and site or workshop use
- Tough spring steel construction provides elasticity and long service life
- Slotted, self‐retaining design resists loosening from vibration or shock loads
- Suitable for use in drilled holes in steel, aluminium, and engineering plastics
- Simple to fit with a hammer and drift, hand vice, or arbor press
- Removable for maintenance; can be driven out with an appropriate punch
- Clean, consistent sizing supports accurate location and alignment of parts
- Ideal where a compact, low‐profile fastener is preferred over bolts or screws
- Part-marking traceability via MPN 903 1462
- Additional metric sizes in the same range: 2.5mm x 24mm, 2.5mm x 40mm, 4mm x 40mm, 5mm x 40mm, 6mm x 40mm, 8mm x 24mm, 8mm x 5mm
Typical Applications:
Securing sprockets and gears to shafts, locating pivots in throttle or brake linkages, retaining pins in mower handles and garden equipment, assembling hinges and levers on small plant, fixing pulleys and collars, building jigs and fixtures, and general maintenance on compressors, generators, pumps, compactors, and workshop machinery.
Also known as:
Sometimes referred to as slotted spring pins, expansion pins, spring tension pins, hollow dowel pins (spring type), and slotted locating pins. These names describe the same style of compressible, slotted fastener used for alignment and retention in pre‐drilled holes.
