DP100 Straight Pins

Offered with or without a head, Straight Pins are distinguished by their uniformity. The chamfered ends are more consistent than tumbled edges—making installation with automatic assembly equipment more reliable. Straight Pins are retained by compressing the host, not the inflexible solid pin. They are suitable for use in plastics for press-fit applications limited to those cases where the host material can withstand compression in the order of 0.05mm – 0.08mm (.002” – .003”). Straight Pins are often used to replace Ground Dowels in applications that do not require the tight tolerances of a Ground Dowel.

SPIROL's KP300 Helical Knurled Pins have helical knurls that span the full length of the pin. The 30° helical knurls cause the pin to rotate during installation into the hole. Helical Knurled Pins offer higher insertion and retention than Straight Knurled Pins. However, KP300 Helical Knurled Pins are not typically recommended when the pin will be subjected to rotational forces as the helical knurl will cause the pin to either "unscrew" itself from the hole or further imbed itself into the hole. KP300 Helical Knurled Pins are available in metric diameters ranging from 2mm to 6mm and in inch diameters ranging from .078" (5/64) to .250" (1/4) in low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel.

SPIROL's FH100 Headed Straight Pin has the same body style as the DP100 Straight Pin, with the addition of a head. A Headed Pin is typically used to provide a positive stop or to retain a thin component to a thicker component within an assembly. FH100 Headed Straight Pins have a flat head, however they are available to order with a round head (RH100) to meet specific application requirements. Similar to the SPIROL Series DP100 Straight Pin offering, SPIROL's Series FH100 Headed Straight Pin is available in metric diameters ranging from Ø2mm to Ø6mm and inch diameters ranging from Ø.078" (5/64) to Ø.250" (1/4).
