Description

This stepped pin features a precise cross-cut relief down the upper half of its shaft, turning the tapered head into an active press-fit expansion mechanism. The rigid base provides a solid stop, while the flexible upper quads allow it to securely bite into the inside of a matching tube.

Design Features

  • Flanged Base: 12mm outer diameter stop prevents over-insertion.
  • Relief Cut: 2mm wide cross slot allows inward flex during seating.
  • Tapered Catch: Angled head eases insertion while maintaining outward pressure.
