 Vogelsang
Rollpins are today's most universal, time saving and economical
fasteners. Universal because they replace a wide variety of
different fasteners. Timesaving because they can be installed
in a single operation. Economical because they are made in
one piece and are easily removable.
Vogelsang Rollpins are hollow cylinders slit longitudinally
over their entire length to permit compression during insertion,
thus giving them their unique self-locking qualities. Chamfered
edges facilitate insertion without disrupting the hole diameter
or tolerance in any way. They are formed from special spring
steel of high elasticity, resilience and wear resistance.
Vogelsang Rollpins have gained wide acceptance from designers
and engineers quick to recognize their inherent advantages
and cost saving features. These fasteners simplify product
design, increase product reliability, reduce production costs
and rejection losses. These features of weight, space and
cost savings coupled with simplicity and dependability, have
opened up new and previously impractical design possibilities.
Vogelsang Rollpins provide immediate low cost replacement
for many expensive types of fasteners including taper pins,
grooved pins, set screws, machine keys, drive studs, dowel
pins and others. Vogelsang Rollpins are used in an extensive
array of applications. They regularly function as fasteners,
hinge pins, stop pins, assembly pins and in a myriad of other
roles. Vogelsang Rollpins are tried and true, all-purpose
non-threaded tension fasteners that can be used in stampings,
castings, forgings, sintered metals, hard rubber and plastics.
Rollpin slot dimensions, outside diameters, and elastic limits
are such that the self-locking action is achieved in holes
drilled to normal production tolerances.
Standard materials are high carbon spring steel or martensitic
chromium steel (AISI 420) which are heat treated to achieve
optimum shear strength. Rollpins are also available in work
hardened 18-8 nickel chromium steel and, upon request, special
materials. The standard finish for steel pins is plain and
oiled. Plated pins are also available.
Vogelsang has taken the initiative in offering mechanically
plated pins. The Vogelsang standard is mechanically applied,
commercial zinc plating. Mechanical plating minimizes the
possibility of hydrogen embrittlement, which is a common concern
when parts are subjected to electroplating. Mechanically plated
pins are commonly available from stock. Other platings are
available as special orders. Stainless steel pins can be passivated
upon request.
