Overview
This 304 stainless steel cotter pin is a fundamental industrial fastener designed for secure, semi-permanent locking in a vast array of machinery and assembly applications. Its primary function is to secure bolts, clevis pins, and other components by passing through a drilled hole and having its prongs bent apart, preventing unintended disassembly. The use of austenitic 304 stainless steel provides superior corrosion and oxidation resistance compared to standard carbon steel pins, ensuring reliable performance in humid, washdown, or mildly corrosive environments. Packaged in quantities of 500, this product supports efficient bulk inventory for maintenance, repair, and production operations.
