Spring Pins

Spring pins include press-fit, hollow slotted pins used to secure components and establish positioning points in maintenance, assembly, production, repair, fabrication, shaft, sleeve, and wiring-related work. This category also includes clevis fork joint options for creating forked or pinned connections in pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder linkage assemblies.

Use Cases

Secure and position compatible parts

Press-fit spring pins can be used to secure components, establish positioning points, and support shaft, sleeve, and wiring applications.

How to Choose

Start with fit details

For spring pins, compare the stated diameter and length. For clevis joints, compare fork spacing, inner fork length where listed, and base diameter where listed.

Applications

Match the connection type

Choose hollow, slotted spring pins for compatible press-fit fastening applications. Choose clevis fork joints for pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder-related assemblies.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Product Types

Choose between press-fit pins and clevis joints

Spring pins have a hollow, slotted or tube-style body and chamfered ends to help guide insertion. Clevis fork joints provide a forked or fork-pin connection for cylinder linkage setups; select models include a snap-on securing collar to help retain the fork pin.

  • Press-fit spring pins are listed for locking, positioning, retaining, and fastening compatible components.
  • Clevis fork joints are listed for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder connections.
  • Snap-on collar models help retain the fork pin in the joint assembly.
Sizing and Fit

Compare the dimensions relevant to your assembly

Spring pin listings identify sizes such as 3/32 in. x 11/16 in., 5/32 in. x 15/16 in., 1/4 in. x 2 in., and M12 x 60 mm. Clevis listings identify fork spacing from 1/4 in. to 5/8 in., with certain options also stating inner fork length and base diameter.

  • Match spring-pin diameter and length to the compatible assembly requirement.
  • Match clevis fork spacing to the distance required between fork sides.
  • Use stated inner fork length and base diameter when those fit details are needed.
Material and Stocking

Select the listed construction and pack count

High carbon steel spring pins are available in plain and clear zinc-finished options. Stainless steel choices include 420 stainless steel and 302/304 stainless steel, with passivated options listed. Clevis joints are steel with zinc-plated or silver zinc-plated finishes as stated.
