Knurled Fastening Pin Beam End Yellow Color Zinc Plating

Knurled fastening pin provides strength when you secure your materials. A metal cotter pin can be bent during installation to act as a staple or spring pin. A hitch pin assembly ensures that your trailer is secure by dropping the pin in place and locking. A steel-grade, industrial safety pin locates, aligns, and safely secures components. Rely on Ever Hardware for industrial pins that secure your materials in place. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Knurling is a manufacturing process, typically conducted on a lathe, whereby a pattern of straight, angled or crossed lines is cut or rolled into the material. The operation is performed for producing indentations on a part of a workpiece. Knurling allows hands or fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the originally smooth metal surface. Occasionally, the knurled pattern is a series of straight ridges or a helix of “straight” ridges rather than the more-usual criss-cross pattern.
Knurling may also be used as a repair method: because a rolled-in knurled surface has raised-up areas surrounding the depressed areas, these raised areas can make up for wear on the part. In the days when labor was cheap and parts expensive, this repair method was feasible on pistons of internal combustion engines, where the skirt of a worn piston was expanded back to the nominal size using a knurling process. As auto parts have become less expensive, knurling has become less prevalent than it once was, and is specifically discouraged by performance engine builders.
