1/8 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.
Common uses include conveyor guards, guide components, and light-duty brackets, where the pin retains parts without a threaded fastener. If the joint must locate parts precisely rather than retain them economically, a dowel pin is usually the product family to check.
