5/32 x 2 1/4 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) helps retain mating parts through spring force against the hole wall. Tension pin, slotted spring pin, and roll pin describe the same slotted self-retaining pin style. The published OD range of 0.162-0.167 in. is larger than the 0.156-0.160 in. recommended hole range by design.
For machine handles, knob shafts, or operator controls, check the drilled-hole range, pin length, and access for driving the pin squarely. When the design requires repeatable precision location, compare Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pins with a reamed hole and ground 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.
