Convenient Split Pins

The main good things about Convenient Split pins are: they’re really reliable as a solid mechanical lock, super easy to put in and check just by looking (you can tell right away if they’re installed), cheap because they’re simple to make, the parts they hold can be reused (though the pin itself can’t), and you can find them in lots of sizes and materials. They’re a sure way to stop things from coming apart by accident when there’s vibration or spinning. That’s why they’re irreplaceable for stuff where safety really matters.

Product Details

Convenient Split pins are good at handling tension—keeping from being pulled out—because of their bent legs. But they’re not really meant to take big shear loads, which are forces pushing sideways, perpendicular to the pin’s length. Their main job is just to hold things in place. If shear force is a big issue, you should use a solid dowel pin or bolt as the main part to take that load. Then the split pin can just act as a safety backup to stop that main pin or nut from sliding along its axis. Knowing the difference between these loads is really important for safe design.
