Grooved Pin Types
There are six basic types of Groov-Pins with groove configurations designed to serve the specific needs of particular applications. Each pin type is available in a wide range of diameters, lengths, materials and finishes.
Type 1
Features three full-length tapered grooves which allow it to serve as a connecting and fastening element. As such, it replaces the conventional taper pin, eliminating the reaming of drilled holes, thus saving time and tool cost. Typical applications include: pulley locking pin, cover retaining pin, or flywheel balance plug.
Type 2A
Features three half-length grooves and short pilot for both blind and through-hole applications. Typical applications include: lever stop, locating pin, strap anchor, or hinge pin.
Type 3H
Features three full-length
parallel grooves. Short pilots
and chamfers permit insertion
from either end. The ideal pin
for hopper feeding. Typical
applications include: cover
retaining pin or spring pin replacement.
Type 5
Features three grooves that
extend over central half the pin
length. Ideal for
assemblies that benefit from
central locking and rotation at
the ends. Typical
applications include hinge pin,
fulcrum pin, locating pin, and
T- handle.
Type 24
Features three parallel grooves
over one-quarter the pin length.
Parallel grooves provide high
holding power where shorter
grooves and longer bearing areas
are required. The short
pilot on the grooved end allows
the pin to be inserted from
either end for use in blind or
through holes. Designed
specifically for linkage, pivot,
hinge, or axle applications.
Type 67
Features three half-length parallel grooves and a neck for tension springs. It is designed for both blind and through-hole applications. Annular grooves may be machined to customer's specification when pins are used with retainer rings. Ideal for use in automatic machinery and on tools requiring reciprocating spring action. Typical applications include: spring anchor, pulley axle, or pivot pin.
