Part location

Post by berry »

I was sweeping the shop the other day and found a roll pin. I know some of you know the equipment inside - out. Everything still seems to be working fine but it came from somewhere and I'd like to return it to where it belongs. What are the likely places I should look. (I have a 1982 500, upgraded to a 520 about 20 years ago.) I can post a pic if that would help. Thanks!

Pin dimensions(diameter/length) would be helpful. ;) We know what a tension pin LOOKS like. :D

Tension pin, roll pin, spring pin -- I didn't know there was a difference.

It really doesn't matter where it came from now BUT I do believe that it would matter if there was NO tension spring thewre and you use the machine.

How long is it?

A picture or two of the pin laying along side a ruler would help.

. . .
A 'roll' pin and a 'tension' pin are both 'spring' pins.

A 'roll' pin was the original spring pin(multiple layers wound like a coil spring). They have been replaced by 'tension' pins that are a slightly incomplete hollow cylinder(slotted tube).

Both are intended to be used in a bore slightly smaller than the od of the pin. As the pin is forced into the bore the pin od gets smaller and the spring force presses against the bore walls and it becomes self retained.

Do you have a castor set on your SS? If I remember they have some in them, I think.

Look your castors over, I am not at home to check mine but I think they use roll pins around or with the cams.
