Split pin or Cottor pin
A Split Pin (Cotter Pin) is a simple mechanical fastener used to secure bolts, nuts, and other components from loosening. It is inserted through a drilled hole and then bent at the ends to lock the assembly in place, providing a reliable and vibration-resistant locking solution.
Features:
- Simple and cost-effective locking device
- Prevents loosening of nuts and bolts
- Easy installation and removal
- Good vibration resistance
- Reusable in low-stress applications
- Available in multiple sizes and diameters
