Pins

What is a pin?

Modern mechanisms often rely on discrete but indispensable components, and the pin is an eloquent example.

A pin is a metal cylinder designed to respond to relatively low shear forces. A pin is used to attach, connect, or secure mechanical components. There are various varieties of pins, each designed to meet specific needs.

You use a pin when you want to:

  • Immobilize one room in relation to another: solidarity
  • Position one part in relation to another: posturing
  • Serve as an axis within an assembly: turnover
  • Serve as a safety part in an assembly: secure

The pin plays a crucial role in the safety and stability of assemblies and equipment in various industries. A pin therefore ensures a mechanical connection between 2 parts.

How are pins made?

There are various techniques and numerous advanced machines for the manufacture of pins (steel pin and stainless steel pin).

In this section, we will introduce you to the exclusive manufacturing process that we use within Gardette Industries and the P3G group for pin design and manufacturing.

A machine specially designed for the manufacture of pins is responsible for shaping your part according to your needs (cylindrical pin, threaded pin, conical pin, elastic pin, fluted pin...).

It all starts with an iron bar, with the material that will best meet your needs (stainless steel pin, brass, steel, aluminum, etc.).

Once the raw material is fed into the machine, whether in bar or drawn form, the real magic of pin manufacturing begins.

The machine cuts the bar with absolute precision, to the exact dimensions required. Each pin is carefully cut to fit your specific project perfectly.

After this crucial step, each pin is meticulously cleaned and oiled. This step is crucial because it facilitates friction between the part and the machine, thus ensuring smooth and smooth operation.

Lubrication also extends the life of each pin, ensuring its long-term strength and reliability.

At Gardette, we understand the importance of every detail in the manufacture of high-quality pins. That's why we use specially designed machines and rigorous procedures to ensure that every pin made will meet your most stringent requirements.

Depending on the type of pin required, it is possible to add chamfers or other specificities using other specialized machines machining and turning.

And depending on its application, the pin can also be subjected to surface treatments if desired.

The rest of the manufacturing process will depend on the type of pin you have selected.

The different types of pins manufactured at Gardette Industries

Our cylindrical pins

The cylindrical pins are essential assembly elements, equipped with a smooth shaft, without grooves or threads, and can be drilled and threaded according to your specific needs.

The ingenious design of a cylindrical pin allows customization with chamfered or curved ends, in order to adapt perfectly to your application.

Cylinder pins are highly appreciated for their ability to hold mechanical parts together quickly and reliably.

Cylinder pins are often used in areas such as industrial machinery, laboratory equipment, and the automotive industry, where regular assembly and disassembly are required.

Threaded cylindrical pins are perfectly adapted to blind holes. This pin has a flat surface that prevents air from being compressed, thus avoiding any deterioration of the hole or the risk of the pin being rejected from the housing.

These pins are ground with a quality tolerance of m6, h8 or h11 depending on their shape. This makes them ideal for use in precision mechanics, general mechanics, as well as in machine manufacturing and all applications that require precise adjustment.

In addition, tapping allows the use of a pin extractor to facilitate its dismantling.

We also have conical pins, which can be tapped.

Rectified pin din 6325

Rectified pins are assembly elements from the cylindrical pin family. They are manufactured with extreme precision to ensure a perfect fit between the pin and the mounting hole. The manufacture of these pins reaches levels of precision to the nearest micron and offers exceptional surface quality.

What sets them apart from conventional pins is their tolerance on the outside diameter that makes them even more unique.

Fluted pin

Fluted pins are cylindrical fasteners with splines along the length that allow for an inflection and compression movement for the pin. Generally, we find 3 splines arranged at an angle of 120°.

Unlike a ground pin, the splined pin does not require any specific adjustment tolerance because the elasticity of the splines adapts to the diameter of the hole in which it is inserted. A diameter slightly larger than the nominal diameter ensures a perfect fit and therefore excellent pin strength.

The elastic pin

Spring pins, also known as “Mecanindus pins” are cold-rolled and rolled pins, making them split lengthwise.

The incredible elasticity of this pin allows it to remain securely in place in their housing, without requiring particular precautions, even if their ends are free and the hole between 2 very precise diameters.

Our safety pins

What are the pin standards?

Our pins, like all of our mechanical parts, are subject to rigorous quality and safety standards in order to ensure their reliability and longevity. In France, the most common standards for pins are the DIN standard, of German origin, and the ISO standard, which is an international standard.

These standards define the criteria for the materials, dimensions and mechanical properties of our pins, thus ensuring their safety and reliability.
