Custom Slotted Pins - DFARS Stainless Steel

 

We had these custom slotted pins manufactured domestically for our aerospace customer using DFARS compliant 303 stainless steel material.  The pins measure .094" in diameter and .35" in overall length, with the slot at .020" in width by .115" in depth.  The outside profile tapered from .094" diameter max to .088" at the narrow side.  Full certs were provided with the parts.

Custom Stainless Slotted Pins in 416 Stainless Steel Material - RC 26 to 32

We supplied our long time medical device customer 2,500 pieces of these tricky custom stainless slotted pins.  Production was done domestically using 416 stainless steel material - the original design called out for 17-4PH stainless steel material but that was found to be unnecessary for the relatively simple application.  416 SS provided a much more cost effective and faster alternative while still providing the "spring" action required when the four petals were contracted.  10 pieces were provided out of the production batch for testing and approval before the balance was completed with the slotting process.

Custom Slotted Pins With Partial 6-32 Thread - 304 Stainless Steel Material

We supplied our customer a short run supply of these custom slotted pins with partial 6-32 thread.  Just over 200 pieces were produced domestically using 304 stainless steel material.  The 6-32 thread length was set at 0.18" and all other dimensions were derived from the samples our customer provided us.  These parts were relatively simple without any special services or paperwork requirements.
