Additional information

This spiral pin, part number 715-0120, presses into a drilled hole to secure shafts, gears, or linkage components while resisting loosening caused by vibration. Its coiled design helps maintain a tight fit during equipment operation.

If a shaft slips, a component works loose, or you notice movement where parts should be fixed in place, the spiral pin may be sheared, worn, or missing. Elongated holes or visible pin damage can also indicate a problem.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the power source appropriate for your equipment to prevent accidental operation. Align the holes carefully, then drive the spiral pin straight in until it seats fully and holds the components securely.
