1/16 x 1 7/8 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) gives a compact spring-steel fastening option for assemblies that need retention rather than ground-pin location. The catalog term is tension pin, while many drawings use slotted spring pin and many shops say roll pin. The chamfered ends support driving from either side, while the open slot allows compression during installation.
Common uses include shaft-to-hub retention, light drives, and spacer assemblies, where the pin retains parts without a threaded fastener. For blind holes where removal access matters, Pull Dowel Pins are the related locating-pin option to review.
For repair operations, distributors, and OEM sourcing, Cold Headers can help match the item number, diameter, length, and standard. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
