The pin and wedge mounting assembly is used on vibrating screen decks to provide secure locking of the screen panels while permitting rapid assembly and disassembly of the assembled components. The pin is slotted for receipt of the wedge, and the wedge has an enlarged head that is greater in width than the pin’s slot.
Pins and wedges are a common tensioning method used on vibrating screen decks. Compared to carriage bolts, they permit rapid screen changes.
In abrasive applications such as mining, the wedge's head and pin are preferably covered with inexpensive, replaceable caps made of an abrasion-resistant material such as polyurethane, polypropylene, or neoprene.
