Grooved spring pin TAPPEX

The Grooved Pin has three longitudinal grooves swaged or formed into a cylinder of material, this has the effect of increasing its diameter. In each application, installation of the grooved pin causes the grooves to compress, this compression produces outward pressure on the walls of the hole and in so doing secures location of the pin. The pin is held in position under elastic tension and therefore cannot be easily dislodged in harsh environments.

A wide variety of standard pin types are available for many applications eliminating the need for more labour intensive or complex fasteners.

The Grooved Pin range has provided fastening solutions in a number of industry sectors including: machine building, chemical equipment, manufacture, precision engineering, automotive and electrical engineering.
