Split pins are mechanical fastening components that prevent a nut or pin from slipping out of their seat.

There are different types of split pins, which differ in shape and size.

Among the most commonly used types, we find:

Linch pins: they are recognizable by the characteristic "R"-shaped shaped part, which allows the fastening element to flex without deforming, allowing it to be reused;
Grooved pin, full-length taper grooved: these pins consist of an external snap ring and a bar; they are used for fastenings with heavy loads and are therefore made of a more resistant material than spring pins;
Cotter rings: they are formed by a metal wire wrapped into a ring on several turns, with one of the ends bent inwards. They are fasteners mainly used in the nautical sector.

To choose the right spring pin, you need to consider the type of final application and carefully evaluate the choice of material: in our catalog you can find split pins in raw steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper and brass.
