Hairpin Cotter Pins & Cotter Pins
Cotter pins are reusable metal fasteners that are used in conjunction with clevis pins to join two machine parts or pieces of equipment. Standard cotter pins, also known as cotter keys, or split keys, are inserted through the cross-holes in clevis pins; they feature two parallel tines that are bent outward after installation to secure the pin in place. Hairpin cotter keys, also called bridge pins, hitch pins, or R-clips, consist of a single length of hardened metal wire (in a general letter “R” shape); they are inserted through cross-holes in standard clevis pines or secured around the groove in a grooved clevis pin. Cotter pins and hairpin cotter pins are ideal for quick assembly/disassembly applications.
