Roll Pins

Roll pins are cylindrical, hollow pins made of metal, typically steel, that are used to fasten or secure two or more components together in mechanical assemblies. Unlike solid pins, roll pins are split along their length, which allows them to compress when inserted into a hole, providing a tight, secure fit. This unique design helps absorb vibrations, preventing the pin from loosening over time. Roll pins are often used in applications where components need to be held firmly in place but may require disassembly or maintenance later, as they are relatively easy to install and remove. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial, and machinery applications, particularly for securing gears, shafts, or pulleys. The hollow, spring-like construction of roll pins makes them resistant to shear forces, making them ideal for situations where high levels of stress and vibration are present.
