Specifications

How to choose Pins & Shafts

Points to check when selecting, with the values for this product (Small-Diameter Parallel Pin).

1. 1. Select the outer diameter to match the mating hole

   The outer diameter is selected to suit the hole diameter of the mating part or the bore of a bearing. Listed products range from extra-fine 0.1 mm diameters to about 10 mm. Fine diameters bend easily, so the balance with load and length should also be checked. Compare the nominal diameter and the actual permissible range together with the diameter tolerance.

2. 2. Choose a diameter tolerance suited to the fit

   Tolerance symbols such as h7, g6 and m6 determine the range within which the outer diameter falls relative to the basic dimension. For press-fit fixing, choose a tighter interference fit such as m6; for sliding or rotation, choose a clearance fit such as g6 or h7. Combine these with the tolerance of the mating hole.

3. 3. Determine the required overall length and whether long lengths are available

   Overall length is determined from the hole depth of the mounting area and the support span. Listed products range from 2 mm to 150 mm, and long lengths may be offered as a separate series. The longer the part, the more deflection and straightness effects tend to appear, so consider a larger diameter or additional support points.

4. 4. Select a material suited to the operating environment

   This product: Material SUS301, SUS201

   Stainless steels such as SUS304 and SUS303 resist rust and suit humid or washed environments. SUS303 is a steel grade with improved machinability. Where wear or high load is a concern, select hardenable steels or products with higher hardness.

5. 5. Check hardness and surface treatment of sliding areas

   Where the shaft rubs against a bearing or seal, surface hardness affects wear life. Some products have surfaces hardened by hard chrome plating or quenching, and repair sleeves for oil seal areas are available with hard chrome plating for high hardness. Also confirm whether the plating thickness is included in the stated dimensions.

6. 6. Check whether the end shape allows easy insertion

   Chamfered or rounded ends make insertion into holes easier and help prevent damage to the mating bore. Parallel pins may be classified by end shape, such as Type A and Type B, so select according to the assembly method and whether press-fitting is required.
