Pin Manufacturing FAQ

Here are the most frequently asked questions about pin manufacturing:

What are the different types of pins manufactured at Dongguan CNC Machining?

At Dongguan CNC Machining, we specialize in manufacturing several types of pins including:

• Dowel pins
• Clevis pins
• Swage pins
• Taper pins
• Bridge pins

What are dowel pins for?

Dowel pins are cylindrical metal rods that combine two pieces of wood or other materials. The dowel pin is inserted into a hole drilled in one piece of material, and the other piece is then placed over the dowel pin so that the two pieces are joined together. Dowel pins can also be used to align two pieces of material so that they are flush with each other.

Dowel pins are commonly used in woodworking but can also be used in other applications such as metalworking and plastics. Dowel pins are available in a variety of sizes, and the size you use will depend on the application. For example, a small dowel pin can be used to join two pieces of wood together, while a larger dowel pin can be used to align two pieces of metal.

What is a clevis pin?

A clevis pin is a type of fastener used to join two pieces of metal or other material. It consists of a small rod with a head at one end and a split ring at the other. The ring fits over a tab on the other piece of material, and the pin is inserted through holes in both pieces. The pin is then secured in place with a cotter pin.

Clevis pins are used in a variety of applications, including automotive and machinery assembly, plumbing, and electrical work. They are often chosen for their strength and durability, as well as their ease of installation and removal.

What is a swage pin?

Swage pins have a grooved or ribbed surface and are used to hold parts together by swaging or deforming the pin to create a tight fit. They are often used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and mining, where high vibration or other external forces may cause parts to loosen.

What is a taper pin?

As the name suggests, taper pins have a tapered shape and are used to secure parts by wedging them in place. They are often used in machinery and other mechanical devices, as well as in industries such as woodworking and aerospace. Taper pins are typically made from strong, durable materials and are inserted into tapered holes for a secure fit.

What is a bridge pin?

Bridge pins are small, cylindrical pins that are used in stringed musical instruments such as guitars and mandolins to hold the strings in place on the bridge. They are typically made from materials such as ebony, rosewood, or plastic, but can be made of metal as well, and have a small hole at one end for the string to pass through.
