DUTY
Three Duties
Flexibility, strength, and diameter must be in the proper relationship to each other
and to the host material to maximize the unique features of SPIROLs Coiled Pin. A
pin too stiff for the applied load would not flex, causing damage to the hole. A pin too
flexible would be subject to premature fatigue. Essentially, balanced strength and
flexibility must be combined with a large enough pin diameter to withstand the applied
loads without damaging the hole. That is why SPIROL Coiled Pins are designed in
three duties; to provide a variety of combinations of strength, flexibility and diameter
to suit different host materials and applications.

To achieve optimal low cost designs, Design Engineers must consider not only the
product design, but the entire assembly process. While the fasteners are typically the
least expensive components within the assembly, they can have a profound impact
on the total cost of the mechanism if not chosen properly. Designers should consider
investing in a pin that improves the robustness of the overall product design, reduces
the preparation cost of the individual components and simplifies the assembly process
to ensure the overall cost of the assembly is minimized. Engineers should give early
consideration during the design stage to ensure that the individual components of
the assembly are designed appropriately for pin fastening. When total in-place and
assembled costs are considered, SPIROL Coiled Pins are the pin of choice.

SPIROL Coiled Pins are the easiest type of pin to install. They
Coiled Spring Pins absorb the widest hole tolerances.
can be installed simply with a hammer or by commercially
available press technology. After installation, they are self-retaining within the hole.
Consequently, the pin is installed in a single operation eliminating costly secondary
operations of multi-part components such as a nuts and bolts or clevis pin and retaining
rings, or multi-process products such as rivets or cotter pins. The Coiled Pin is also
conducive for automating so assembly and the associated labor time and costs are
minimized.
SPIROL maintains a library of application case studies for on-line review at www.SPIROL.com.
Unique Features
Only Coiled Pins utilize the coiled spring concept; a recognized superior pin design. This imparts to SPIROL
Coiled Pins unique features not found in other Spring Pins or Solid Pins. More than fasteners, SPIROL Coiled
Pins are also shock absorbing elements which are integral, active components of a total assembly. There are
other pinning methods, but when the total assemblys manufacturing cost, quality and useful life are important,
the pin of choice is the SPIROL Coiled Pin.
Swaged Chamfers
Square Ends
SPIROL Coiled Pins have clean, square cut ends. This has
a substantial impact on trouble-free automatic installation
as the square ends enable the pin to align itself with the
installation punch/quill to ensure the pin remains straight
as it is inserted into the hole. The cleancut ends also impart a quality image to
the assembly.

Straightness
Although the straightness specifications are technically
the same, carbon steel Coiled Pins of longer length in
relationship to diameter are straighter than roll-formed
Slotted Pins. The stresses imparted during the heat
treating process distort long Slotted Pins into a "banana
shape" caused by the material stretching at the slot and
contracting 180 opposite the slot. Straightness is important
in numerous applications and for trouble-free insertion.
Automatic Feeding
The square ends and the
absence of slots have
a substantial impact on
troublefree automatic
feeding. Of most importance
is the absence of a slot
which eliminates pin nesting
and interlockinga major
problem in automation.
Reusable
When driven from a hole, the SPIROL Coiled Pin expands
towards its original diameter. The same pin may be reused
in the same hole.

Design Guidelines
Shaft Design
One of the primary benefits of using a Coiled Pin to affix
a collar or hub to a shaft is the Coiled Pins ability to
prevent hole damage. There are a few design guidelines
that must be adhered to in order to achieve the maximum
strength of the pinned system and prevent damage to the
shaft and/or hub:
Shaft The hole in a shaft
should not exceed 1/3 of the
shaft diameter. For mild steel
and nonferrous shafts, standard
duty pins are recommended.
The extra strength of a heavy
duty pin is only beneficial if
the hole is less than 1/4 the
diameter of the shaft or if the
shaft is hardened.
Hole Design
It is important to note that the recommended
hole sizes (on pages 14-19) may not be true for
all applications. There are many applications
that require a different hole size to ensure
the proper function of the assembly. For this
reason, it is recommended that SPIROL be
consulted on new designs.
Design Guidelines
Hinge Design
There are two primary types of hinges:
1) A free fit hinge has little to no friction or drag when
the latch or handle is rotated. Hinge components
are free to rotate independent of one another.
2) A friction fit hinge requires interference to prevent
free rotation of components relative to one another.
Depending on design intent, resistance can vary
from a slight drag to a value sufficient to maintain
the fixed position of components anywhere in their
full range of rotation.
Coiled Spring Pins are
PAWL
particularly well suited for
use in both friction and
free fit hinges. To achieve
optimum long-term hinge
performance
designers
should
observe
some
HANDLE
basic design guidelines.
Regardless which pin type
is used, the gap between

hinged components should
be minimized to reduce clearance and avoid bending of
the pin.

Stainless Steels
Carbon and alloy steels are the most cost effective and
versatile materials available for use in Coiled Pins. These
materials are readily available, easy to process, and have
very uniform and predictable performance characteristics.
The most noticeable limitation to these materials is
corrosion protection. In most applications, the normal rust
preventative oil is adequate for corrosion protection. In
cases where extra protection is necessary, the benefits of
coatings and stainless steel must be evaluated.
