ISO 8752 304 Stainless Steel Slotted Spring Pins - Plain Finish
ISO 8752 304 Stainless Steel Slotted Spring Pins (also known as roll pins or tension pins) are self-retaining, headless, hollow mechanical fasteners with a continuous slot down the center. Engineered from premium 304 stainless steel, these pins feature double-end chamfers for effortless insertion into drilled holes.
When driven into a hole slightly smaller than the pin's relaxed outer diameter, the pin contracts, applying continuous outward radial compression against the inner wall. This spring action provides superior friction resistance, preventing movement, shear displacement, and loosening caused by high vibration.

FAQ Section
Q1: Why select 304 stainless steel for spring pins?
A: 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining good mechanical strength, making it ideal for applications requiring durability in various environmental conditions.
Q2: What are the benefits of the plain finish on stainless steel pins?
A: The plain finish maintains the natural corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel without additional coatings, ensuring dimensional accuracy and compatibility with tight tolerance applications.
Q3: Can these slotted spring pins be reused?
A: Yes, due to the spring properties of the stainless steel material, these pins retain their outward tension force and can typically be re-installed multiple times depending on application conditions.
