Pinning your hopes on expertise

1 min read

For what appears to be a simple product, the specification of engineering pins can be a surprisingly difficult matter.

Given that most pins are used to precisely locate and/or retain components in a long-term assembly, Challenge Europe offers its expertise in detailing pin types, fit, tolerance, material finish and cost, so that customers can find the optimum pin and pin fitting system for their projects.

The company’s recent brochure highlights the main types of engineering pin available. These include split cotter pins, precision dowel pins, groove pins, spring tension pins, spiral pins (coiled spring pins) and taper pins.

If you already know what you need, then all types are carried in stock for same-day despatch. If you need advice, the team at Challenge Europe are available to engage with your project at any stage from concept to development and production, stated the company. If you are already in production, then it is possible you may need to rework your specification and there, too, it can help.
