Pin picking problems?

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 offer their 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 project.



Their new 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 then the team at Challenge Europeare available to engage with your project at any stage from concept to development and production.

If you are already in production then it is possible you may need to rework your specification and there too they can help.
