Shear Resistance and Material Strength

The CONNEX measurement tables in this website give minimum shear fracture values under static loading and temperatures up to 600 º F. The values apply to pins of the material AISI 6150. The engineer can choose the required safety factor based on his specific loading and environment conditions.

The safety factor under dynamic loading is greater and can be 5 or higher under sudden or frequent pulsating stress. As well as an assessment based on calculations and previous experience of a particular pin connection, we recommend tests on a prototype, especially in large scale production.

Shear Values of the Different Pin Materials

  • Shear values of CONNEX Spring Pins of material AISI 6150 according to DIN 1.8159.
  • Ground Heavy CONNEX Spring Pins type SG of material AISI 6150 have values lower by about 25%.
  • Heavy CONNEX Spring Pins type S of material AISI 301 according to DIN 1.4310 have values lower by about 25%.
  • Pins with electroplating have lower values by about 35%.

 

 

Establishing the Shear Values

Shear values given in the CONNEX measurement tables were established using single or double shear testing devices as indicated in the diagrams. They apply to the pins of material AISI 6150, DIN 1.8159. The parts of the shearing device were hardened.

In comparison to the application of spring pins in practice, shear tests in the laboratory are carried out under ideal conditions. There is only minimum play between the shear block and side pieces so that the pin to be sheared does not undergo additional bending stress.
