Cotter Pins & Retaining Pins

Here at Caleb Components we offer both Split Cotter Pins and Retaining Pins (R-Clips) in BZP finish.

A Split Cotter Pin is a simple fastening device. This part is simply pushed through a whole, which is just slightly bigger than outside diameter of the pin. As parts are manufactured in Mild Steel, the legs simply bend around the component to hold it in place.

Retaining Pins (R-Clips) serve a similar function to the Split Cotter Pin, the difference being the Retaining Pin is easy to remove as just one half of the pin locates on the outside diameter of the component.

Split Cotter Pins however, are a little more difficult to remove as the legs have to be bent back to their original position in order to extract the pin from its component.
