Spirol Introduces new Press-N-Lok pin
Spirol has announced the expansion of its solid pin product line to include the new Series BP100 Press-N-Lok pin. The new Press-N-Lok pin was designed to permanently retain two plastic components to each other. The pin has opposing raised barbs on each end that are angled backwards opposite the direction of insertion.
As the pin is being inserted, the plastic backfills into the area around the barbs resulting in maximum resistance to axial force providing a secure, tamper resistant assembly. The Press-N-Lok pin is manufactured from lightweight, lead free, corrosion resistant aluminium. One major advantage of the Press-N-Lok pin is that assembly time is quicker and it requires lower assembly equipment costs as compared to screws and adhesives. The pin is installed in just two steps: first press the pin into one half of the plastic housing; then align the other half of the housing with the exposed end of the pin and press into place.
