Springs & Split Pins

This category holds springs and split pins in handy assortments. Choose between tension and compression springs, and split pins in various diameters. Stainless steel resists corrosion, regular steel has higher tensile strength. Always check the DIN standard and dimensions. Use the correct split pin to secure shafts and nuts. The right choice prevents breakage and downtime.

Springs and split pins: choose the right size

Springs: tension or compression

In this category you choose between tension and compression springs. Tension springs pull two parts together. Compression springs push parts apart. Check the diameter and length of the spring. These sizes must fit the application. A wrong size causes breakage or poor performance.

Split pins: the right diameter

Use split pins to secure nuts and axles. The diameter of the pin must match the hole in the axle or nut. A thin pin breaks quickly. A thick pin does not fit or damages the hole. Choose the pin that fits the size of the nut or axle.

Material: steel or stainless steel

Standard steel has a higher tensile strength. That suits applications with high forces. Stainless steel resists corrosion better. Use it in damp environments. Always check the DIN standard. That ensures the size is correct and the connection is safe.

These springs and split pins fall under consumables in the workshop. If you secure an axle with a split pin, a circlip keeps the bearing in place. To seal a connection you choose a sealing ring or O-ring, and bolts and nuts in the right size you will find at bolts, nails & nuts.
