EN ISO 8745 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 EN ISO 8745, 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.
Fastening group EN ISO 8745
EN ISO 8745 pins are most often made of stainless steel and belong to the stainless fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of EN ISO 8745 pins
EN ISO 8745 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 EN ISO 8745 bolts
The EN ISO 8745 standard describes a notched dowel pin. The product is used in the construction, machine tool, and engineering industries to create reliable one-piece connections, including for fixing sheet materials. The EN ISO 8745 pin is characterized by a notch on three sides for half the total length of the product.
