Additional Information for Eccentric Pin
Eccentric pins are a type of fastening component that falls under the supply class Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins in the supply group Hardware and Abrasives.
Eccentric pins are designed with an off-center or eccentric shape, which allows for adjustable positioning and alignment in various applications. They are commonly used in machinery, equipment, and furniture assembly to secure two or more components together while providing the flexibility to adjust the position or angle of the connected parts.
These pins typically have a cylindrical body with a head on one end and a threaded or smooth shank on the other. The eccentric shape is usually located near the head of the pin, allowing for rotational adjustment when inserted into corresponding holes or slots in the components being joined.
Eccentric pins are often used in applications where precise alignment or angular adjustment is required, such as in conveyor systems, adjustable fixtures, or machinery with movable parts. They provide a reliable and secure connection while allowing for easy repositioning or disassembly if needed.
When selecting eccentric pins, it is important to consider factors such as the required load-bearing capacity, material compatibility, and the specific dimensions and tolerances of the application. It is also advisable to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or specifications to ensure proper usage and installation.
Overall, eccentric pins are a versatile and practical fastening solution that offers adjustability and flexibility in various industrial and mechanical applications.
