Description
Grooved Pins — also known as slotted groove pins, parallel grooved pins, grooved dowel pins, or compression groove pins — are solid cylindrical fasteners featuring one or more longitudinal grooves along the shank.
These grooves allow for controlled compression during installation, creating a strong friction fit without the need for threading or adhesives.
They are primarily used in mechanical assemblies, hinge joints, linkages, couplings, and alignment applications where precise positioning and high shear strength are required.
Common uses include automotive and machinery components, gear and lever assemblies, shafts and pulleys, electrical connectors, and mechanical hinges, providing reliable retention, vibration resistance, and long service life.
