What is the significance of toothed split spring pins?
Slotted toothed spring pins are hollow pins similar to standard slotted spring pins. These pins feature a slot having staggered teeth that are spaced for interlocking when the pin gets compressed. This alignment retains the pin's roundness while reducing lateral movement in vibratory environments to resist walkout. These slotted toothed pins serve dual purposes in certain applications, like those where both a spring retainer and a mechanical stop are needed. These spring pins can be doubled up to increase shear strength by positioning the slots at an angle between 90 and 180 degrees.
