Thanks, everyone for these very insightful and useful nuggets of wisdom.
What a great community and a wealth of knowledge!
We will take a number of these tips and adjust our production accordingly.
Much appreciated!!
Hi Dave.
Thanks for the response.
You are correct, the roll pin does have a tiny taper on the end, though both ends of the parts are open and the bevelled edge wouldn't be in contact with the parts at all.
The use case has a very low RPM and is operated by hand.
You can see it in use here...
Hi all.
We currently use a 3mm roll pin to secure an aluminium component inside a carbon fibre tube.
We drill a 3mm hole through the two parts and use a hammer with a decent force to insert the roll pin.
We have reports from customers of the roll pins working their way out of the two parts...
