Product Description
<h2>5/32" A2 Stainless Steel Split Cotter Pins – DIN 94</h2>
<p>
5/32" split cotter pins manufactured from corrosion-resistant A2
stainless steel. These simple and reliable retaining pins are inserted
through a drilled hole before the two legs are bent apart to prevent
accidental withdrawal.
</p>
<p>
Suitable for securing castellated nuts, clevis pins, shafts and other
mechanical components. The 5/32" diameter corresponds closely to the
listed 4mm metric size, with lengths available from 5/8" to 4".

<p>
Length is measured along the straight section of the pin from beneath the
eye to the end of the shorter leg.
</p>
<h3>How Split Pins Work</h3>
<p>
Insert the closed legs through the correctly sized cross-hole in the pin,
shaft or threaded fastener. Once fully inserted, bend the two legs apart
to lock the split pin in position and prevent it from working loose.
</p>
<p>
Split pins provide an economical mechanical locking method and allow the
installation to be checked visually.
</p>
<h3>Typical Applications</h3>
<ul>
<li>Securing castellated and slotted nuts</li>
<li>Retaining clevis pins and pivot pins</li>
<li>Automotive and motorcycle maintenance</li>
<li>Agricultural and garden machinery</li>
<li>Linkages, shafts and control mechanisms</li>
<li>Marine and outdoor equipment</li>
<li>General engineering and repair work</li>
</ul>
<h3>Installation Advice</h3>
<p>
Select a pin diameter that fits freely through the cross-hole without
excessive clearance. After inserting the pin fully, bend the legs apart
around the component using suitable pliers.
</p>
<p>
Split pins can become weakened after their legs have been bent and
straightened. For dependable retention, fit a new pin whenever an assembly
is dismantled rather than reusing a previously installed one.
