Knurled Pins Customized Steel Stainless Zinc Plated

Knurled pins allow hands or fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the originally smooth metal surface. Inserted into receiving holes, dowel pins hold together parts of an assembly with friction. They may also be used as location pins. These pins are common in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as in furniture making. We have the largest selection of knurled pins available anywhere.  A fastening pin, such as a dowel pin or clevis 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. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the knurled pins by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not cause a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. Indeed, the zinc oxide, if undisturbed, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers. The majority of hardware parts are zinc-plated, rather than cadmium-plated.
