The humble Split Cotter Pin may not look much like a fastener, but in reality, this cost effective mild steel pin is basically a disposable part.
Once inserted through the hole (usually through a shaft) the mild steel legs can easily be bent or knocked into shape. As one leg is longer than the other, location on to the leg is relatively easy to bend back on itself, thus securing the device in the hole and will prevent any parts sliding off the shaft.
The majority of our stock at Caleb Components Ltd, has a Bright Zinc Plate finish as standard which will help prevent early rusting.
Our sizes range from 1.6mm diameter (1/16″) to 13mm (1/2″). Lengths for larger sizes up to 180mm.
As well as being available in Mild steel we can also offer many parts in Stainless steel.
We would be pleased to see any enquiries, and will do our utmost to provide your needs.
