Cotter Pins
Cotter pins are simple, reliable fastening components used to secure bolts, clevis pins, shafts, and other mechanical assemblies in place. Designed for easy installation and removal, they help prevent parts from loosening during machine operation, vibration, or repeated movement.
These pins are commonly used in industrial machinery, packaging equipment, conveyors, linkages, guards, and general mechanical maintenance. Their split-leg design allows the pin to be inserted through a drilled hole and bent outward to lock the assembly securely.
