Shear pin

The pin Brinell tester takes the form of a large C clamp with the baU indenter on the end of the screw. Load is controUed by a built-in shear pin. A modification of this device employs impact loading by a hammer to achieve similar results.

The torque eapaeity of the pump shaft must be greater than the torque eapaeity of the shear pin in all eases. We assume that failure of the pump shaft oeeurs at the interferenee of these two torque distributions. From equation 4.89, the torque eapaeity of the shear pin ean be determined by substituting the ultimate shear strength of the weak link material, for L, giving ... 

Solving equation 4.92 using Monte Carlo simulation for the variables involved, the torque eapaeity of the shear pin is found to have a Normal distribution of Mwl A (4421.7,234.1)Nm. 

Vane wear must be monitored in order to schedule replacement before the vanes become too short and wear the rotor slots. If the vanes are permitted to become too worn on the sides or too short, the vane may break and wedge between the rotor and the cylinder wall at the point of eccentricity, possibly breaking the cylinder. Shear pin couplings or equivalent torque limiting couplings are sometimes used to prevent damage from a broken vane under sudden stall conditions.

As a protection for equipment against overload, sprockets are sometimes provided for silent chains with a shearing pin or a break-pin hub. A pin of a known strength is used, and an overload of sufficient magnitude shears the pin and leaves the plate free to turn on the hub. After the overload condition is remedied, a new pin may be easily inserted and the drive again made ready to operate. 

Q) to prevent its ignition when the fuze is set at less than 0.4 second. A pull (safety) wire (D) and a shear pin (G) are fitted in the time-action plunger to prevent accidental functioning of the plunger prior to firing. The safety pull-wire must be removed before firing...

Bullet Impace Fuze, MI AI for Demolition Snake M3 consists of a body (which contains a detonator and two shaped-charge boosters), a target plate of 3/8-inch thick steel and a spring mounted on three studs. The target plate bears on a firing pin which is restrained by a shear pin and safety fork. The fork must be removed before the fuze can be operated.

Dispersive mixing requires high shear stresses. These can be obtained by inserting shearing pins into the chamber with a prescribed clearance and shape, where the number of passages over the high shear region (at no recycle) equals the number of pins (55). 

Excessive the power requirements for the feeder causing the feeder to break shear pins, stop drive motor, and cause low flow to the feeder. 

However, the pin must not be rotated when the position of the compression rollers is changed. Therefore, this system is ideally suited for machines that change roller position by a vertical slide mechanism as opposed to an eccentric mechanism. Shear pins are typically custom manufactured, where quality depends not only on the pin design but also on the strain gauge receptivity and arrangement.
