Overview
This 304 stainless steel cotter pin is engineered for heavy-duty industrial fastening and securing applications. It is designed to be inserted through a drilled hole in a shaft or bolt, with its prongs then bent to prevent the pin from backing out, thereby securing components like clevis pins, castle nuts, and axle assemblies. The corrosion-resistant properties of 304 stainless steel make this pin a reliable choice for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and weathering, ensuring long-term performance and reduced maintenance.
