Pins are non-threaded fasteners used to align, secure, or join components in mechanical assemblies. They provide a reliable method for positioning or locking parts in place and are widely used in manufacturing, automotive, and equipment repair.

Common Types and Features:

Dowel, spring, taper, cotter, and clevis pins
Inch and metric sizes available
Materials include steel, stainless steel, brass, and zinc-plated options
Used for alignment, pivoting, and retention in assemblies
Available in assorted diameters, lengths, and retention styles

Dowel Pins — Dowel Pins Dowel pins are precision-ground cylindrical rods used to align or join components in machinery, tooling, and assemblies, ensuring accurate positioning and maintaining alignment under shear loads.

Spring Roll Pins Spring roll pins, also known as slotted spring pins, are hollow, cylindrical fasteners that compress during installation to provide tension and secure parts in place, ideal for shear load applications in machinery and equipment.

Clevis Pins Clevis pins are cylindrical fasteners with a head on one end and a hole for a cotter pin on the other, used in clevis assemblies to allow pivoting or secure mechanical linkages.

Cotter Pins — Cotter Pins Cotter pins are bent wire fasteners inserted through a hole and spread at the ends to lock parts in place, commonly used with clevis pins, castellated nuts, and other pivoting assemblies.

Hitch Pins — Hitch Pins Hitch pins are sturdy metal pins with a head and a hole for a retaining clip, used to secure equipment attachments, trailer components, or agricultural implements for quick, tool-free connections.

Taper Pins — Taper Pins Taper pins are precision-ground, slightly conical pins used to align or secure components in machinery by wedging tightly into tapered holes, providing strong, vibration-resistant positioning and easy removal when needed.

Hairpin Cotter Pins Hairpin cotter pins, also known as R-clips, are spring steel fasteners shaped like a hairpin, used to secure clevis pins or shafts quickly and without tools in automotive, agricultural, and equipment applications.

Snapper Pins — Snapper Pins Snapper pins are quick-release fasteners with a spring-loaded wire loop that locks into place, ideal for securing equipment, hitch assemblies, and attachments where fast, tool-free installation and removal are needed.

Lynch Pins — Lynch Pins Lynch pins are spring-loaded locking pins with a ring that snaps over the end to prevent disengagement, commonly used to secure wheels, hitch pins, and other equipment components in place.

Safety Pins Safety pins are spring-loaded fasteners with a clasp and guard to prevent accidental opening, commonly used to temporarily secure fabric, tags, or light components in household, medical, or light-duty applications.
