FAQs

What does the 'A (MM)' dimension refer to?

The 'A (MM)' dimension typically refers to the diameter of the shaft the pin is designed to secure (e.g., 8mm for SFAGS266).

What is the purpose of the zinc plating?

The zinc plating provides a protective layer that enhances corrosion resistance, making the pins more durable, especially in outdoor or moist environments.

How many pins are included in a pack?

The product description states 'Quantity - 10', indicating that each pack contains 10 shaft locking pins.

Can these pins be used for heavy-duty applications?

Shaft locking pins are best suited for applications where static retention is needed. For very heavy loads or high-vibration environments, more robust fastening solutions might be required.

What is the difference between SFAGS266 and SFAGS272?

SFAGS266 is designed for an 8mm shaft, while SFAGS272 is designed for an 11mm shaft. Other dimensions also vary to match the shaft size.

Are these pins magnetic?

Typically, steel pins with zinc plating are ferromagnetic, meaning they will attract magnets.

Troubleshooting

Pin does not fit the shaft.

Verify the shaft diameter and compare it to the specifications of the shaft locking pin. Ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., 8mm, 11mm).

Pin feels loose or does not lock securely.

Ensure the pin is fully inserted and that both the shaft and the mating component have appropriately sized holes/slots. Check for excessive wear in the holes.

Shaft locking pin shows signs of rust.

The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive chemicals can cause rust. Clean the pin and consider applying a protective coating or replacing it if rust is extensive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable shaft security.
  • Durable zinc-plated finish resists corrosion.
  • Simple to install and remove.
  • Available in multiple sizes for specific applications.
  • Cost-effective fastening solution.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for correct fit.
  • Not suitable for extremely high-vibration environments without additional securing.
  • Limited load-bearing capacity compared to bolted solutions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the correct shaft diameter for your application. The product code indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters (e.g., SFAGS266 is for an 8mm shaft).
  2. Measure the desired position on the shaft where the pin needs to lock.
  3. Insert the pin through the designated hole or slot on the shaft and its mating component. Ensure it passes through both parts to create a secure lock.

Compatibility:

These pins are designed for use with shafts that have a corresponding hole or slot for the pin to pass through. Ensure the shaft diameter matches the pin's intended size for optimal performance. Refer to the product specifications for exact dimensions (A, B, C, D).

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating.
  • Periodically inspect for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in harsh environments. If corrosion is noted, consider replacing the pin to maintain security.
