Industrial pins are some of the most important elements within an assembly. Pins often hold the entire assembly together and facilitate the interaction between the individual assembly components. An assembly can be held together many different ways. The challenge for the Design Engineer is to choose a method that provides the highest quality joint with integrity over time at the lowest manufacturing cost. For many applications, a selfretaining pin is the winning solution. Ideally, the selected pin is simple to assemble, provides a high quality product for the intended lifetime of the assembly, and yields the overall lowest cost of the assembly taking into account the entire manufacturing process. This WebChat will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of common types of press fit pins and how to select the proper pin for common applications.
