KP200 Straight Knurled Pins

SPIROL's FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pin has the same body style as the KP200 Straight Knurled 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. FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pins have a flat head, however they are available to order with a round head (RH200) to meet specific application requirements. Similar to the SPIROL Series KP200 Straight Knurled Pin offering, SPIROL's Series FH200 Headed Straight Knurled Pins are available in metric diameters ranging from Ø2.5mm to Ø6mm and inch diameters ranging from Ø.094" (3/32) to Ø.250" (1/4) in low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel.

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 Knurled Pins are manufactured with two different knurl types: straight knurls and helical knurls. Unlike a Straight Pin, where retention is provided by the uniform interference between the pin and hole, Knurled Pins are designed to cut into the host. The displacement of the host material into the valleys of the knurls yields more frictional contact area between the Knurled Pin and hole; thus resulting in higher retention. Solid Pins with retention features such as knurls and barbs allow for wider hole tolerances than Solid Pins without retention features (i.e. Straight Pins).
