Groove Pins

Grooved Pin Fastening System

This is a fastener that incorporates in its design three longitudinal grooves formed into a dowel, which has the effect of increasing its diameter. They may be of a tapered or parallel form. The headed pins, the grooves are always parallel and, with blind drive pin rivets, the pin is used to expand the rivet and is retained in the body of the rivet.

Now More Simple, Resistant to Shock and Vibration and Reusable

More plain pins, traditional taper pins, keys or locating pins which rely on ‘interference’ at one point on the pin and also require a reamed or precision formed hole, the these pins can be seen to be a significant improvement. These pins work with the resistance to withdrawal wherever the grooved diameter is compressed; resistance can effect the whole length of the pin instead of just at one point as with traditional pins.

Groove compression

Installation of the pin causes the grooves to compress, this is to produce outward pressure on the walls of the hole and in so doing secures location of the pin.
