3. Types of Pinned Joints

Pinned joints are specified below as to the function the pin serves in a joint.

- Pinned joint for fastening

Pinned joints for fastening hold together two or more component parts without frictional connection. A good example of a pinned joint for fastening is a toothed wheel on a shaft where only low torques are to be transmitted. All types of pins can be used in joints for fastening.

- Pinned joint for driving

One part of a machine drives another part, such as in switchgears or couplings which are shifted when at rest. Cylindrical pins, close-tolerance grooved pins and dowel pins can be used in joints for driving.

- Pinned joint for holding

Pinned joints of this type hold one component part to another component part. Cylindrical pins and grooved pins can be used in joints for holding.

- Pinned joint for swivelling

Pinned joints of this type connect two or more movable or rotary component parts. Cylindrical pins, grooved cylindrical pins and center-grooved dowel pins can be used in joints for swivelling.

- Pinned joint for fitting

Pinned joints of this type fix two component parts in a definite position relative to one another. Taper pins, close-tolerance grooved pins and cylindrical pins can be used in joints for fitting.

- Pinned joint for securing

Pinned joints of this type prevent parts of machines from becoming loose inadvertently under dynamic loads (vibration). Cylindrical pins, taper pins and grooved pins can be used in joints for securing.

- Pinned joint for shearing

Pinned joints of this type secure parts of machines which are connected directly with each other, from overloads. The pin in the joint will break when the load becomes too heavy. Thus, the component parts of the joint will not be damaged. Cylindrical pins can be used in joints for shearing.
