Stainless Steel Cotter Pins
Originally a ‘belt and braces’ device for industry for the prevention of unscrewing nuts from shafts and for restraining errant Clevis pins, the Cotter Pin has developed into numerous designs for newer applications in engineering.
Split cotter pins are crafted from robust wire, forming a semi-circular cross-section for added strength. Each pin features two separate legs connected at one end by a round head. When used, the pin is inserted into a pre-drilled hole—commonly found in shafts or bolts—until the head sits flush against the surface.
