3/16 x 15/16 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) is built around the slotted spring-pin principle: free diameter larger than the recommended hole. The slotted construction is the reason this same fastener is commonly indexed as a spring pin or roll pin. The slot accommodates the difference between the 0.194-0.199 in. free OD and the smaller 0.187-0.192 in. hole.
For hinge and pivot joints, covers, or small linkage assemblies, check the drilled-hole range, pin length, and access for driving the pin squarely. 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.
