GROOVED PINS
descRipTion. The groove of a grooved pin is formed by a swaging operation in which three tools penetrate the nominal diameter of the metal at 120 intervals. This penetration displaces a controlled amount of metal to each side of theD x x tool, forming a raised portion D D D grooving x D along the side of each groove. D Figure 1 1 Figure Figure 1 The crest of these raised portions forms the expanded diameter or Dx dimension which is shown in Figure 1. The Dx is a few thousandths larger than the nominal diameter D of the pin. The amount of expansion varies with the diameter of the pin, the material being grooved, and the style of groove. FuncTion. F F F When a grooved pin isFused, the hole into which F Fpin is to be the F F F F F FFF F F FF FF F F FF F F inserted is drilled a few thousandths larger than the nominal FF F F diameter of the pin. The hole must never be smaller than the DD D nominal diameter of the pin. (See Grooved Pin Drilling Procedures and Hole Tolerances on page 4.) Figure 2 2 Figure Figure 2 When the expanded portion of the pin is compressed by insertion into the hole, radial holding forces are generated as shown in Figure 2. These radial forces lock the pin securely into the drilled hole.

Type G has three parallel half-length grooves including pilot. It is a very versatile pin, suitable for use in both blind and through holes as a spring anchor pin. The annular groove opposite the locking end is used to anchor the end loop of a tension spring. If snap or retainer rings are to be used, special section annular grooves can be machined to order.

Type H grooved pin has three parallel grooves for half the length of the pin. This type of pin may be used as a pivot, stop or hinge pin. When pressed in place, the grooved portion locks in one part while the ungrooved section remains free to serve as the locator, hinge, etc.

Type U has three parallel grooves extending the full length of the pin. A short pilot at each end permits hopper or automatic feeding. Identical ends speed manual insertion as operator need not examine pin to determine proper end to start. Full-length parallel grooves provide maximum locking effect. Typical applications include keying gears, collars, knobs, handles, etc., to shafts.

GRooVed pin dRillinG pRoceduRes and hole ToleRances. Insertion and holding forces vary with hole size and groove length. Recommended hole size tolerances are based on a groove length to hole diameter ratio of approximately 5 to 1. A higher ratio than 5 to 1 may require adjustment in hole size. If the ratio is 1 to 1 or less then the hole tolerance should be reduced by approximately 60%. Smaller hole size variation should result in more consistent insertion forces. These factors should be considered when designing press fit fasteners for your application. Hole sizes should never be smaller than the nominal diameter of the grooved pin. Minimum hole size equals nominal grooved pin diameter. Maximum hole size equals minimum hole size plus recommended hole tolerance from the chart. example: 1 /8 diameter pin: Min. hole = .125 Max. hole = .125 + .003 =.128

descRipTion. Standard SHEAR-PROOF pins have the Type A groove configuration as shown. This groove configuration provides tapered expansion beginning at one end of the pin and expanding to the maximum at the opposite end of the pin. Insertion of the Type A pin is allowed in one direction only. SHEAR-PROOF pins are available in any groove configuration. SHEAR-PROOF pins are manufactured from 4140 or 6150 alloy steel in the same manner as grooved pins and are heat treated by austempering to a Rockwell C 40-48 hardness. Austempering provides a bainitic microstructure which is tougher than a martensitic microstructure produced by standard oil quenches. SHEAR-PROOF pins are furnished with a light oil finish for corrosion-resistance. Typical applicaTions. FuncTion. SHEAR-PROOF pins lock in place in the same manner as grooved pins. The materials and the strength or hardness level to which SHEAR-PROOF pins are heat treated provide ideal shear resistance. ToleRances: Length: .010 Nominal Diameter: +.000/-.0015 up to 7/64" diameter +.000/-.002 7/64" diameter and over Expanded Diameter: See table on page 3.
*NOTE: SHEAR-PROOF is a registered trademark of DRIV-LOK, Inc. The name SHEAR-PROOF refers only to a product manufactured from alloy steel and heat treated to obtain a higher shear resistance than standard low carbon grooved pins-type A. The name SHEAR-PROOF does not imply the pins will not shear. SHEARPROOFpins will meet the performance (minimum shear) detailed on Page 17 of this catalog when tested in a properly designed test fixture.

Material handling equipment The Type E pin provides positive locking with a halflength groove in the center of the pin. Extreme shear is exerted in this application, yet the SHEAR-PROOF Pin is used with complete safety for both men and materials. Type E SHEAR-PROOF is a special pin.

heavy-duty Gear and shaft assembly Type A SHEAR-PROOF Pin as specified for this application to give maximum locking power over the entire pin and gear hub area. The Type A Pin, with grooves the full length of the pin, is the standard stock pin which meets most applications.

automatic Transmission in automobiles Special Type C SHEAR-PROOF was selected as a shaft in this transmission servo to replace a cross drilled shaft with a cross pin for holding shaft in position. This eliminated a costly drilling operation and the cross pin.

universal joints in hand Tools Special Type E SHEAR-PROOF Pin with center grooves eliminates costly staking and grinding operations and improves product appearance. This pin is easily installed, fits flush and permits plating before assembly.

eye bolt hinge pin Type C pin, with quarter-length grooves, provides maximum ease of assembly. There is no interference until three-fourths of the pin is in position. The high safety factor inherent in SHEAR-PROOF Pins makes them practical and efficient for such constant shear applications. Type C SHEAR-PROOF is a special pin.

high pressure piston and Rod assembly Type B Pin was used here because the half length grooves simplified the job of starting the pin into the hole. Ease of assembly was matched with sufficient locking power even when subjected to continuous, strong reciprocating forces. Type B SHEAR-PROOF is a special pin.

Vent Dowels may be made from a variety of steels. FuncTion. The three helical grooves on a DRIV-LOK Vent Dowel function as vents to relieve air locks that may occur when standard dowels are inserted into blind holes. The helical grooves provide a width and depth sufficient to relieve the air lock without disturbing the .0005 in. total diameter tolerance of the pin.

Knurled pins
descRipTion. Knurled pins are similar to grooved pins because they have serration around the nominal diameter of the pin. The knurled pin differs from the grooved pin while there are many serrations on a knurled pin. Also, knurled pins are typically roll formed whereas grooved pins are swaged. A knurled section may have either a straight knurl, a helical knurl, or a diamond knurl configuration. Knurled pins are available with nominal diameters from 3/32" through 3/8" and lengths from 3/16" through 3". FuncTion. The serrations on a knurled pin, when compressed by insertion into a hole, result in forces which hold the fastener in place. Radial forces are more evenly distributed around the diameter of a hole for knurled pins than for grooved pins. This is because a knurled pin has more points of contact with a hole than a grooved pin. The teeth may broach the mating hole when the material is softer and more ductile than the pin material. The amount of expansion is predicated on the knurl pitch. Coarse knurls provide greater expansion than fine knurls. A knurled pin should have a minimum of 15 teeth to allow proper feed and rolling capability. The number of teeth must be a whole number to allow for proper tracking and avoid slivering. The capability on expanded diameter tolerance is +/-.002. Call for assistance in determining proper knurl pitch for your applications.

Flat-head special stud with one-third length groove at lead end. Groove length can be varied. Flat-head special grooved stud with shoulder. Often hardened to provide wear surface in shoulder area.

FuncTion. Grooved studs function in the same manner as grooved pins. They provide the same positive holding features as grooved pins plus additional end loading resistance provided by the head of the stud.

descRipTion. The barbs are located at 120 intervals on the diameter of the pin. The number of barbs along the length of the pin, and the distance between the barbs are determined by pin diameter and customer requirements. The crests of the barbs constitute the expanded diameter. The expanded diameter of the barbed pin is measured on the second barb from the end of the pin and is measured with a ring gage. (See page 4 for proper expanded diameter measurement methods.)

BARB-LOK Pins and Studs are made from low carbon steel or aluminum. Low carbon BARB-LOK Pins and Studs are zinc plated for corrosion resistance. Other finishes are available upon request. FuncTion. Barbed pin holding power is affected by the pin diameter relative to the hole diameter and material hardness. The recommended hole size for most soft plastic applications is .001 to .005 below the nominal pin diameter. Hole sizes for hard plastic and aluminum applications should be greater than the nominal pin diameter. Specific hole sizes should be determined for each individual application. Ideal product for tamper-resistant applications.

Spring pinS
descRipTion. Tubular slotted spring pins are manufactured by progressive roll forming flat strips of high carbon steel or heat treatable 420 stainless steel. After forming, the pins are deburred to remove sharp edges, then heat treated to a spring temper. High-carbon (1070-1095) steel spring pins are hardened to Rc 46-53 and 420 stainless steel spring pins are hardened to Rc 43-52. FuncTion. Spring pins are manufactured to an oversize dimension so that when the pin is inserted into a hole, radial forces are generated against the hole wall holding the spring pin securely in place. sTandaRd spRinG pins. Standard spring pins are manufactured to ASME B18.8.2. Standard finishes for high carbon steel spring pins are either light oil or zinc. Standard stainless steel spring pins are passivated. Spring pins will meet thousands of demanding industrial applications. Shown below are just a few of the possible uses for these rugged, self-locking pins. Be sure to contact DRIV-LOK, Inc. if you require engineering assistance for your application.

split hollow dowels/ Compression limiters

descRipTion. DRIV-LOKs split hollow dowels are designed and manufactured to provide excellent retention forces and ease of assembly. They can also be auto-inserted. Split hollow dowels are ideal for use in conjunction with bolts that pass through the center of the dowel after it has been installed. This offers a weight savings over conventional locating dowels, which require separate drilled and reamed holes. The expense and labor involved in providing separate locating dowels and their holes in assemblies is eliminated. The bolt hole is counterbored on both halves of the assembly. The dowel is then installed into one of the counterbores and used to locate the other half of the assembly. Split hollow dowels offer additional cost savings over hollow dowels machined from tube or bar stock. A typical application of the split hollow dowel is where two halves of an assembly are located and bolted together (cylinder heads to a block, valve bodies to a housing, clam shell assemblies, etc.) A DRIV-LOK split hollow dowel is also used as a compression limiter to protect plastic from being crushed or yielding past its elastic limit. When properly designed the bolt head or washer will allow proper seating of the bolt to hold the component in place and the compression limiter will absorb the clamping pressure. Another application of a DRIV-LOK split hollow dowel is when used as a spacer or standoff to space components apart from one another. They have been used over shafts or bolts to give a set distance between component assemblies. DRIV-LOK also produces split hollow dowels with special features. We have full press capabilities to pierce holes, slots, tabs and other features into the sidewall of a split hollow dowel. DRIV-LOKs design engineering staff will work with you in providing technical assistance to develop the right fastener for your application.

Plain Pins and dowels

descRipTion. Plain pins are solid cylindrical pins which have a cold drawn finish. Plain pins with diameters up to 1/8" have a tolerance of +.000/-.001 in. and diameters 1/8" and over have a tolerance of +.000/-.002 in. Dowels are solid cylindrical pins which have a centerless ground finish with total precision tolerances. All plain pins and dowels are special-order items. Various materials, diameters, lengths, end configurations, heat treatment, and finishes are available. DRIV-LOKS engineering department will work with customers to provide technical assistance. FuncTion. Plain and dowel pins are held in place by interference created around the entire pin circumference when it is pressed into a hole. The insertion, holding, and radial forces generated by these pins are very sensitive to hole diameter variation and usually require the use of a reamed hole. diMensions oF chaMFeRed and sQuaRe end sTRaiGhT pins.

Holes for oversize series machine dowel pins may best be determined by the user to suit the particular application.

*Hole Sizes: Because of the wide variety of materials in which dowel pins are used and the many design requirements which must be considered, it is not possible to provide hole size recommendations that will be suitable for all applications. However, the suggested hole sizes tabulated have been commonly used for press-fitting ground dowel pins into materials such as mild steels and cast iron. In soft materials such as aluminum or zinc die castings, hole size limits are usually decreased by 0.0005 in. to increase the press fit.

Grooved Machine Keys

descRipTion. Type 1 grooved machine keys have grooves on one surface where permanent assembly is not required. Type 2 grooved machine keys have grooves on two opposite surfaces for permanent or semi-permanent assembly. The grooves impressed in the key displace metal which expands the width to provide positive holding action. This eliminates costly drilling and tapping for set screws or other additional processes which would be required to hold the pin in place. Most square keys are available with 45 chamfers at both ends for easy insertion and elimination of damage to keyways in shafts and hubs. Available widths for grooved machine keys range from 1/8" through 1/2" and lengths from 1" through 4 1/2. Special lengths of up to 8" available with groove length appropriate to the application. FuncTion. The expanded width Wx of the key formed by the grooves (Figure 1) provides interference between the key and the keyway which reduces backlash and holds the key in place. When the widened surface engages a standard keyway, a moderate press fit results. The displaced material is partially forced back into the groove, but the inherent resiliency of the metal creates outward forces F against the sides of the keyway (Figure 2). The expanded width of Type 1 grooved machine keys retain the key in position in the keyway of either the shaft or mating part. When Type 2 keys are used, the same retaining forces are generated in both parts.
