The EN ISO 8740 pin is a threadless fastener that allows parts to be joined together through well-prepared holes, holding them firmly in place or, if necessary, allowing parts to rotate in relation to each other
Fastening group EN ISO 8740
EN ISO 8740 pins are most commonly made of stainless steel and belong to the stainless fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of EN ISO 8740 pins
EN ISO 8740 pins are made from the following materials:
- Steel
- Stainless steel. Steel grade A1 allows the fasteners to be used at high temperature extremes and in aggressive and humid environments.
Application range of EN ISO 8740 pins
This fastener is most often used in instrumentation and mechanical engineering. Since any machine consists of tens or hundreds of sections, components and parts that interact with each other. Some parts of the machine need to be accurately and firmly connected to each other. And this is where a cylindrical pin with notches along its entire length comes in handy. The DIN 1473 pin is very convenient for assemblers to use, as it is easy to put the pin into position.
