Join Technifast as we celebrate 30 years in the fastener industry. We’ll be reflecting throughout our anniversary year with a unique look at the company’s history from our employee’s perspective and looking at how the precision engineering industry has evolved since 1990. About Us History of Techifast Meet The Team Quality/Statements Commodity Codes HISTORY OF TECHNIFAST The Story of Technifast: Dedication and Precision Through the Years From Family Foundations to Industry Excellence Where It All Began Technifast’s journey commenced in 1990, founded as a family-owned and operated company by John Speed. From its earliest days, the company established its home in Corby, Northamptonshire, relocating there in 1991. Technifast quickly earned a reputation for supplying precision engineered fasteners and components to a wide range of industries. A Commitment to Service and Quality Central to Technifast’s ethos has always been the unwavering drive to provide an excellent level of service, quality, and value. John Speed articulated this guiding principle: “All along our principle has been to provide a level of customer service, making life as easy as possible for our customers to encourage them to come back to us the next time they have a need for our products.” This philosophy remains the heart of the company’s approach, fostering lasting relationships with customers and ensuring repeat business. Growth and Team Spirit As business flourished during the early 1990s, Technifast expanded its operations, building a dedicated team of sales staff and warehouse personnel to support its growing customer base. Long-standing clients will remember Carol Evans, a vital member of the Technifast family throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Today, Suzanne, Sharon, and David continue to be integral to the company, exemplifying Technifast’s commitment to its employees. With over 200 years of combined experience amongst the team, the company takes great pride in nurturing and valuing its staff. Investing in the Future Rising demand for custom-made, precision-turned components led John and his team to invest in advanced manufacturing capabilities. In 2005, Technifast relocated to larger premises to facilitate its evolution from a fastener supplier to a respected manufacturer of precision engineered components and CNC turned parts. This move marked a natural progression and signaled the company’s readiness to embrace new opportunities. Adapting and Advancing By 2020, Technifast’s established manufacturing division was working proactively with customers, producing bespoke fasteners for applications in industries as diverse as automotive and aviation. Despite the growing scope and complexity of its operations, Technifast never wavered from its commitment to delivering consistent quality and excellence in service. A Legacy of Achievement Navigating the challenges of the past five years has demonstrated Technifast’s resilience and dedication. Reaching the milestone of 35 years in operation is a remarkable achievement, underpinned by the hard work of the entire Technifast team and the company’s ongoing investment in improvement and innovation. Looking Ahead As the world continues to change, so too does Technifast. With a spirit of continuous improvement and the support of a passionate, experienced team, the company is confident in its ability to meet the challenges of the next 35 years and beyond. Technifast’s story is one of family values, employee loyalty, and an enduring pursuit of excellence—qualities that will surely guide its future successes.

Every application is different, but here we show a little bit of information that might help Datasheets Material Specifications Pin Economics Plating & Finishing Recommended Hole Sizes Shear Strengths Standards Tolerances PIN ECONOMICS Every application is individual, but the following information acts as a guide on choosing the correct pin for your requirements. The pin must perform its required function. Economic factors only come into play in choosing the pin that meets the technical needs of the particular application. Typical considerations include: Where the maximum possible resistance to static shear loads is required, then a through hardened solid steel dowel has the most strength. If space permits, a larger diameter of other types of pin can be considered. Remember, a small increase in the diameter of the pin makes a large difference to the strength. Where the maximum possible resistance to vibration is needed, avoid spring pins and use either grooved pins to DIN 1473 (full length parallel grooves) or a hardened dowel fitted to the tightest possible tolerances. For resistance to corrosion, stainless is preferred to zinc or other plated finishes, except where the problem is galvanic corrosion between the pin and the components into which the pin is to be inserted. Plated finishes offer limited resistance to atmospheric, marine or chemical corrosion as the plated surface is liable to damage during insertion and in the case of spring pins and cotter pins the inside surfaces are not fully protected. For most commercial purposes, A1/A2 grades of austenitic stainless (303, 304) are sufficient to give good protection and are commercially available in most types of pin. For marine or chemical resistance, A4 grades such as 316 are essential, but this limits the choice of pin as A4 is not readily available in all types of pin. The shear strength of austenitic stainless is lower than that of hardened steel so if the application requires both corrosion resistance and high strength a larger diameter should be considered For hinge applications where the pin will be subject to friction from rotation avoid slotted spring pins as the open slot can cause wear. For applications where the pin will require regular removal for purposes of repair or adjustment, consider extractable dowels (DIN 7979) or extractable taper pins (DIN 7977 or 7978). For safety-critical applications, avoid any form of electrolytic plating as the process to remove hydrogen embrittlement resulting from such plating is not fully reliable. Where considerations of hygiene are important, such as with food processing equipment, solid pins (dowels, grooved or taper) are preferred as dirt retention is avoided.

Double Shear figures serve mainly to compare the relative strengths of different types of pin, or different diameters of the same type of pin. Datasheets Material Specifications Pin Economics Plating & Finishing Recommended Hole Sizes Shear Strengths Standards Tolerances SHEAR STRENGTHS Double Shear figures serve mainly to compare the relative strengths of different types of pin, or different diameters of the same type of pin. The conditions prevailing in a given application usually differ from test conditions. The test itself is carried out according to ISO 8749 and records the maximum load the pin will withstand before fracture. In practise, manufacturers’ figures provide the minimum load without any safety margin. Consequently shear figures are a design guideline and not a guarantee of performance. The figures given elsewhere across our website and datasheets are for double shear applications. Where a pin is used in single shear, the values should be halved. It is important to note that figures given based on testing to ISO 8749 do not allow for the effect of dynamic (shock) loads or bending moments. Specifically the test stipulates the following restrictions: - The clearance between the two pieces of the test block must not exceed 0.15 mm in order to maintain a straight line of shear. This is important in that in an assembly where the holes in the mating components are deeply countersunk, (even if the components themselves are flush) there will not be a straight line of shear and the resulting bending moment will reduce the shear strength. The shear planes must be at least one pin diameter from the end of the pin, and at least two diameters apart. The load must not be applied at a rate in excess of 13mm/min. In other words this is a test for static shear loads, not dynamic. Where an engineering application includes conditions that are not covered by the ISO 8749 test, the following guidelines may be used. Where there are dynamic loads, a coiled pin will perform better due to its shock-absorbing features. Where there is a bending moment of some significance a hardened solid pin is preferable, either through hardened for maximum shear strength or case hardened where less shear strength but more resistance to bending moments is required. Where there is a high level of vibration, a grooved pin will have the maximum retention provided it is of the full-length parallel grooved type (DIN 1473).
