Snap Pin

Snap pins, also known as spring pins or tension pins, are essential fasteners commonly used in various mechanical and industrial applications. These pins are designed to be inserted into a radial hole in a shaft or other components, where they provide secure retention through their unique spring action. The snap pin features a semi-circular or curved section that exerts a spring-like force when inserted into the radial hole. This spring action creates tension against the walls of the hole, effectively locking the pin in place and preventing it from sliding or dislodging unintentionally. One of the key advantages of snap pins is their simplicity and ease of installation. They can be quickly and easily inserted into the designated hole without the need for additional tools or complex procedures. Once in place, the spring action of the pin ensures a tight and reliable fit, contributing to the stability and integrity of the assembly.
