What are the classifications of fastener pins?
The fastener pin is mainly used for positioning, but also for connection, and it is fixed in the pin hole by means of an interference fit. Fastener pins used for positioning are usually not subject to load or very small load, the number is not less than two, distributed in the symmetrical direction of the overall structure of the connected parts, the farther the better, the pins are connected in each connection. The length inside the piece is about 1 to 2 times the small diameter.
Types of Fastener Pins
Fastener pins also include ordinary fastener pins, internal thread fastener pins, threaded fastener pins, hole pins, elastic fastener pins, etc.
Fastener pins and shafts
Fastener pins can also be used as shafts, and a straight shaft can also be used as fastener pins or even centering pins. So what's the difference between a shaft and a pin? Shafts can be used to transmit torque, withstand bending and torque, and fastener pins can be used to locate, withstand extrusion and shear forces.
In a sense (such as small equipment), the fastener pin can also be used as a shaft.
