Specialty and Other Pins | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Ejector Pin | Ejector pins are small pins that are used to push or eject a part or material. | ||
Expanding Diameter Pin | Expanding diameter pins have a clearance fit in their relaxed state, and segments that spread when a cam is actuated to provide a snug fit. They can be easily installed and removed. | ||
Pivot / Hinge Pin | Pivot pins are used to attach two pivoting or hinged components. | ||
Powered | Powered pins are devices that are mechanically actuated from an electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic source of energy. | ||
Shear Pin | Shear pins are designed to break if the fastened members move, under stress, in opposite parallel directions to their mating surfaces. | ||
Weld Pin | Weld pins are designed to be welded into place. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary pin types. | ||

Material | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Plastic | Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. They can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
Steel, Hardened and Ground | Pins are made of hardened and ground steel. Steel may be hardened in a number of ways. These include a variety of quenching techniques in oil and water, being passed through induction chambers, etc. Cooling steel quickly during processing freezes, traps, and packs the carbon atoms inside the shrunken iron crystals, thereby producing a very hard and brittle metal. Although this material is very hard, it cannot absorb much shock or impact without breaking. | ||
Steel, Unhardened | Pins are made of unhardened steel. By definition, steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 % as an essential alloying constituent. Steel is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by both its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
Other | Other unlisted or proprietary materials. | ||
