DIN 1472 A tapered knurled pin is a fastener used to connect parts together without threads. The tapered shape of the pin allows for a longer-lasting, high-quality connection, even when the hole develops over time or when its dimensions change. According to DIN 1472, metal pins are manufactured with tapered notches that cover half the length of the metal rod. The presence of tapered notches increases the reliability of pin fixation in the hole: it ensures the correct positioning of parts in the mechanism and prevents them from moving relative to each other under the influence of external factors.
DIN 1472 fastening group
DIN 1472 pins are most often made of stainless steel and belong to the stainless fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 1472 pins
DIN 1472 pins are made of the following materials:
- Steel
- Stainless steel grade A1. This allows the use of these pins in places where there is a risk of corrosion.
Areas of application for DIN 1472 bolts
The DIN 1472 standard describes a notched dowel pin. The product is used in the construction, machine tool and machine tool industries to create reliable one-piece connections, including for fixing sheet materials. The peculiarity of the DIN 1472 pin is the notch applied on three sides for half the total length of the product.
