What is a splined pin?

The pin

Pins are cylindrical fasteners used primarily to join and position two or more parts together, either temporarily or permanently.

A pin can be smooth, slotted, threaded, splined, ground, etc...

The pin's ingenious design allows it to be customized with chamfered or domed ends, to perfectly match your application project.

The pin is often used in fields requiring regular assembly and disassembly, such as industrial machinery, laboratory equipment and the automotive industry.

At Gardette Industries, we' ve been designing and manufacturing pins for over 100 years

Thanks to our machining capacity and know-how, we now offer one of the most complete ranges of pins:

‍Spline pin

A splined pin, whether iso 8741 or iso 8745, is a cylindrical fastener with longitudinal splines. A splined pin allows inflection and compression movements. Typically, there are 3 splines arranged at an angle of 120°.

Unlike a ground pin, a splined pin requires no special adjustment tolerances, as the elasticity of the splines adapts to the diameter of the hole in which it is inserted. A diameter slightly larger than the nominal diameter ensures a perfect fit and therefore an excellent hold.

The spline pin can be used in a wide range of applications, for example for : 

  • Maintaining rotating parts in the automotive industry.
  • Maintain rotating parts in the handling equipment sector.
  • Assemble a drive shaft to a hub on a machine tool.

How does Gardette Industries manufacture its splined pins?

A variety of state-of-the-art techniques and machines are used to manufacture spline pins.

In this section, we present the exclusive manufacturing process used by Gardette Industries and the P3G Group. 

A machine specially designed for the manufacture of our pins is responsible for shaping each piece. It all starts with an iron bar, using the material that best suits your needs to produce your stainless steel, brass, steel, aluminum, etc. fluted pins.

Once the raw material has been fed into the machine, whether in bar or drawn bar form, the real pin-making process begins. 

The machine cuts the bar with micron precision. Each pin is carefully trimmed to fit your specific project.

After this crucial step, each part is meticulously cleaned and oiled. This step is essential as it facilitates friction between the part and the machine, ensuring smooth, trouble-free operation. Lubrication also helps to prolong the life of each pin, ensuring its long-term strength and reliability.

Grooved pins are produced using a specially designed machine known as a "grooving machine".

  • Pins are positioned in the spline station 
  • The machine takes the pin
  • The place at the center of the machine
  • Tools then precisely deform the pin to create splines, usually by cold forming.

There are two types of tools for making a splined pin:

  • Nails: used in "striking" splines. The pin remains fixed during splining, and the length of the spline depends on the width of the tool.

  • Rollers: used in press spline machines. The pin can be fixed or moving during splining, and the length of the spline is variable.

We manufacture a wide range of pins, each with its own characteristics:
