NM01PIN038

This is a Roll Pin, also commonly known as a Slotted Spring Pin. It is a type of mechanical fastener characterized by its cylindrical shape, a slot running longitudinally along its length, and chamfered ends to aid insertion. The spring action created by the slot allows the pin to compress when driven into a hole slightly smaller than its nominal diameter, creating a tight, secure fit due to the radial force exerted against the hole walls.

The dimensions of this specific roll pin are:

• Nominal Diameter: 1/8 inch: This indicates the approximate outer diameter of the roll pin before compression.

• Length: 7/8 inch: This specifies the overall length of the roll pin.

• LG (Long): This designation, often used interchangeably with the specified length, confirms that the pin is 7/8 inch long. It might be used to differentiate it from shorter roll pins of the same diameter.

The material of construction is SS, which stands for Stainless Steel. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making this roll pin suitable for applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive elements is a concern. The specific grade of stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316) is not specified in this description but would influence the exact level of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Roll pins are versatile fasteners that do not require threaded holes or nuts. They are commonly used to:

• Align and join two or more components.

• Serve as pivots or hinges.

• Transmit light loads.

• Act as shear pins in overload situations.

The spring action of the roll pin allows for some tolerance in hole diameters and provides a vibration-resistant connection. Installation typically involves using a hammer or press to drive the pin into a drilled hole.

Key Features:

• Slotted Spring Pin Design: Provides a self-locking, vibration-resistant connection.

• Nominal Diameter: 1/8 inch: Standard size for various light to medium-duty applications.

• Length: 7/8 inch: Specifies the overall length of the pin.

• Stainless Steel Construction (SS): Offers excellent corrosion resistance for durability in diverse environments.

• Chamfered Ends: Facilitate easy insertion into holes.

• Versatile Fastener: Used for alignment, joining, pivoting, and light load transmission.

• No Threaded Hole Required: Simplifies assembly and reduces the need for tapping.

Applications:

• Securing gears, pulleys, and knobs to shafts.

• Hinging mechanisms and linkages.

• Locating and aligning components in assemblies.

• Electrical and electronic equipment.

• Automotive and machinery applications where corrosion resistance is needed.
