Split Pin

Product Code: MD-CVT-0078

The DIN 1481 slotted spring pin has a longitudinal slot along its cylindrical body. Its free diameter is slightly larger than the hole, so installation compresses it and creates continuous spring force. ## Function and Construction - Aligning and locating components - Retaining shafts, levers, gears and similar parts - Reducing self-withdrawal under vibration - Providing an interference connection without nuts or screws ## Applications - Machinery and equipment assembly - Automotive components - Agricultural machinery - Power tools - Furniture and mechanical mechanisms ## Advantages - Simple, quick installation - Elastic clamping force - Accommodation of small hole-tolerance variations - Reliable retention under vibration - No additional fastener required Pin and hole dimensions must comply with DIN tolerances, and the pin must not be forced out of alignment.
