Spring Pin/C-Type Spring Pin/Pin Specifications
Spring Pin – C-Type Spring Pin Overview
The C-Type Spring Pin is an elastic positioning pin featuring a longitudinal slot and a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter "C". It is typically made from high carbon steel or stainless steel and heat-treated to ensure excellent elasticity and shear strength. C-type spring pins are widely used for joining or positioning components in machinery, automotive systems, tools, and electronic devices.
Key Features:
C-shaped cross-section: Provides consistent radial pressure for secure retention in mounting holes.
High elasticity: Capable of absorbing vibration and shock, protecting surrounding components.
Easy installation and removal: No threads or special tools required; can be press-fitted into place.
Functions and Uses:
Connects two or more parts while providing secure positioning and shear resistance.
Acts as a safety positioning element to prevent parts from loosening or falling out.
Suitable for small to medium-sized holes, especially where space is limited or quick maintenance is required.
Common Applications:
Automotive components
Small machinery
Household appliances
Tool handles and linkages
Specifications:
Material: Carbon steel (e.g., EN 10270-1, S50C, SAE1060–SAE1090), stainless steel (e.g., SUS304, SUS301, SUS420)
Surface treatment: Black oxide, zinc plating, electroless nickel plating, etc.
Size range: Typically from Ø1.5 mm to Ø12 mm
