Grooved Pin
Product Overview
A grooved pin is a type of solid pin featuring longitudinal grooves that create an interference fit when inserted into a hole. Designed for use in applications requiring axial retention and rotational alignment, grooved pins are essential components in many mechanical assemblies. Available in a variety of materials, sizes, and configurations, grooved pins are known for their reliability, high shear strength, and ease of installation.
At Flybear Fastener, we manufacture and supply high-quality grooved pins tailored to diverse industrial applications. With a commitment to precision and durability, our grooved pins ensure optimal performance under demanding operating conditions.

Material Introduction and Production Process
Typically, grooved pins are manufactured using stainless steel (304/316) for corrosion resistance or high-tensile alloy steel for superior mechanical performance. Stainless steel is particularly suitable for marine, outdoor, or corrosive environments, while alloy steel is chosen for high-load structural applications.
Manufacturing Process:
- Raw Material Selection
- Cold Heading or Hot Forging
- Groove Machining (Precision Metal Forming)
- Heat Treatment to Enhance Strength
- Surface Treatment for Corrosion Resistance
- Dimensional Inspection and Thread Verification
- Final Packing and Quality Assurance
This streamlined process at Flybear Fastener ensures that every grooved pin meets rigorous dimensional and performance standards.
Common Applications and Industries
Grooved pins are integral across a range of industries thanks to their strength, simplicity, and secure fit. Typical applications include:
- Automotive: Steering systems, seat mechanisms, brake assemblies
- Aerospace: Lightweight assemblies, structural joining
- Industrial Machinery: Assembly parts, gear mechanisms
- Consumer Electronics: Component alignment, case closures
- Furniture: Hinges, frames, joints
- Construction: Equipment locks, scaffolding connections
Their non-threaded nature makes grooved pins ideal for applications where frequent installation or removal is required without compromising hole integrity.
