Spring Pin Insertion Force
Spring Pin Insertion Force
(OP)
I'm looking for a rule of thumb or other quick-n-dirty method of determining the approximate force required to insert a spring pin (roll pin, or whatever you call it).
Granted, there is going to be tolerancing of hole size, spring pin dia, out-of-round of the spring pin, and other factors in play. But, for the sake of this conversation, let's use a perfectly round spring pin with the recommended hole size per Machinery's Handbook.
Is the rule of thumb for press fitting a dowel pin close enough?
