single or double shear?
single or double shear?
(OP)
Hi gents I am a mechanical tech a little rusty on my theoretical side, can anyone answer this for me please.
I have two round hollow steel sections suspended at one end verically and carrying a load at the bottom end SWL 150kg. one section slides into the other for height extension and held in place by use of a pin through both sections.
My question is would the pin be thought of as having 2 shear loads or is it in double shear?
I am sourcing and buying alternative replacement positive locking pins and want to spec correctly as it is part of an assy with a SWL of 150kg.
Many thanks

does that help?

The pins are in double shear.
Have look at this site, you will need to scroll down a bit but it shows a bolt in single and double shear.

Engineering is not the science behind building. It is the science behind not building.

Here is a better reference:-

Also the formula are the same whether its a pin or bolt, however with the bolt you have to use the plain shank dia for calculation purposes.
