A pin is a rather ancient part that was used in the past centuries to make locking mechanisms.
Currently, this fastener is used in almost all areas of production because it is made of any steel grade, as well as brass, titanium, copper, and other alloys.
The pin is most often tapered DIN 1 or cylindrical (DIN 7-hardened) and is used for fixed connection of two parts. It is an element containing increased accuracy. The taper of the pins is 1:50.
Before installing the pin, fix the parts to be connected with it in the desired position, then drill a hole and drive the pin in. If it is a tapered pin, the hole is made with a special taper reamer.
The pin is widely used in dentistry. Its use in conjunction with a crown or filling makes it possible to increase the durability of the tooth.
The end part of the pin has a different shape of the convexity. It is either a flat end, a sphere end, or a chamfered end (beveled end edge). You need to know that according to DIN, the length of the pin does not include the ends, but according to GOST it does. It is also possible to have a concavity on one of the end faces of the pin, which should not exceed half the chamfer.
For the manufacture of the pin, spring steel or stainless steel is mainly used, which allows it to be used in joints located in places with aggressive environmental influences.
