Modern mechanisms often rely on discrete but equally essential components, and this Mécanindus spring pin is a perfect example of that.
The DIN 1481 - ISO 8752 spring pin is a metal cylinder with a V or U-shaped slot along its length.
These spring-type pins are considered to be "elastic" due to the slot that folds in on itself once they are fitted into a hole.
Once fully fitted into its housing, this pin works like a spring. As it tries to go back to its original diametre, it applies constant force against the wall of the hole, which in turn holds the pin in the joint.
However, its usage is not recommended for high-precision assemblies, as this isn't the main purpose of this pin. Spring pins don't offer as firm a hold as other types of pins such as dowel pins or grooved pins.
All our heavy-duty spring pins meet the ISO 8752 standard.
This means that we manufacture them from 55Si7 spring steel and stainless steel, suitable for applications in corrosive environments (on request).
Our Mécanindus spring pins are available in various dimensions:
These Mécanindus spring pins offer various practical and technical advantages:
Spring pins are known for their high installation flexibility, able to adapt to larger drill tolerances than other types of pins. Their unique design, with their slot to better absorb shocks and vibrations, increased their shear strength, since they can bend and redistribute forces.
Additionally, they are easy to install manually with a hammer.

Anyone can install a DIN 1481 / ISO 8752 spring pin - all you have to do is insert it into a diameter slightly smaller than that of the pin (make sure to take tolerance into account). For a perfect install, the pin must be inserted so far that its head touches the component that is being assembled. The spring pin’s ends must then be lowered in such a way that they overlap. Once a ring can be seen, install is complete.
Here is some advice to help you should you have any issues:
Use lubricating oil if there are issues during install.
In order to remove a Mécanindus pin, we recommend using a roll pin punch.
Once you have one, follow these steps:
If you do not have a spring pin punch tool, you can also use needle-nose pliers to get a grip on the pin. Pull while slightly turning the pliers left and right and the pin will gradually come loose.
If the pin is stuck, apply a lubricant (e.g. WD-40) before trying to remove it again.
Avoid using a standard pin punch, as it may not be effective here.
