1/16 x 2 3/4 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) provides headless fastening for compact joints where a screw head or nut would interfere. Use the three names together when cross-checking older maintenance notes, bills of material, or shop requests. The chamfered ends support driving from either side, while the open slot allows compression during installation.
Common uses include simple joints replacing taper pins, retaining stops, and service fixtures, where the pin retains parts without a threaded fastener. Where stainless material and precision location are both required, 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pins may fit the drawing better.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty fasteners since 1962 and helps buyers confirm exact pin sizes for maintenance or production requirements. Review the verified OD, hole-size, shear, and length-tolerance data before matching this pin to a drawing or service record.
