1/16 x 13/16 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is a spring steel slotted pin used where the pin must compress on entry and push back after seating. Use the three names together when cross-checking older maintenance notes, bills of material, or shop requests. The retaining action comes from spring force and friction at the hole wall, not from threads, adhesive, or staking.

For conveyor guards, guide components, or light-duty brackets, check the drilled-hole range, pin length, and access for driving the pin squarely. For worn precision holes, 0.001 Oversize Dowel Pins may be the better repair path than using a spring pin.

Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped industrial buyers locate specialty pin and socket-product configurations. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
