Overview
The 304 Stainless Steel Cotter Pin is a fundamental industrial fastener engineered for secure, semi-permanent locking in a vast array of mechanical assemblies. Designed with a standard split-pin configuration, it is inserted through a pre-drilled hole and its prongs are bent outward to prevent removal, ensuring components like clevis pins, shafts, and axles remain safely in place. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, this pin delivers long-term reliability in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and varying temperatures, making it a critical component for maintenance, repair, and operational (MRO) inventories.
Key Features
Constructed from grade 304 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance Plain, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and food-safe adjacent applications Standard 0.059-inch diameter and 0.984-inch length for versatile compatibility Split-pin design allows for easy manual installation and removal with basic tools Provides a reliable, vibration-resistant locking mechanism for rotational and sliding parts Bulk packaging supports high-volume usage and reduces per-unit cost
