Purpose of a Split Cotter Pin

 A Split Cotter Pin is a simple fastening device to prevent parts being released off the end of a shaft. Alternatively, they can be very useful to prevent nuts coming undone off a threaded fastener by simply drilling through nut and bolt. The outside diameter of the pin is made marginally smaller than the hole size to give easy fit. Once inserted the legs are bent over in opposite directions to complete the fastening. 

They can also be used in conjunction with Clevis Pins, as shown below.

We offer Split Cotter Pins in two materials, Mild Steel (with a bright zinc plate finish) or A2 Stainless Steel.

E-Clips – Find Out More

E-Clips, can also be known as ‘E’ type circlips or ‘E’ type retaining rings, and are widely used in the engineering and automotive industry.

These parts are designed to be inserted onto shafts or pins with grooves, to help prevent components from moving along the shaft.

They have the advantage of being inserted from the side of the shaft, where axial access is limited, and are often installed using an e-clip applicator tool.

Materials offered included standard carbon spring steel, 420 stainless steel and A4 (316) stainless steel. Other bespoke materials such as inconel, titanium and phosphor bronze can be used too.
