7/32 x 5/16 Tension Pin (Slotted Spring Pin) uses spring action to hold itself in a prepared hole without an added head. In search and purchasing records, this part may be called a tension pin, slotted spring pin, or roll pin. For this diameter, the free OD is 0.226-0.232 in. against a recommended hole of 0.219-0.224 in., so the oversize is intentional.

For shaft-to-hub retention, light drives, or spacer assemblies, check the drilled-hole range, pin length, and access for driving the pin squarely. For worn precision holes, 0.001 Oversize Dowel Pins may be the better repair path than using a spring pin.

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.
