The Stainless Steel Split Pin (Cotter Pin) is a simple yet essential fastening device designed to secure bolts, nuts, and other fasteners in assemblies. Its bent, split-end design allows the pin to be inserted through a pre-drilled hole and then spread apart to lock components in place, preventing rotation or loosening under vibration.
Manufactured from SS304 (A2) and SS316 (A4) stainless steel, these pins offer excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term durability, making them suitable for automotive, industrial machinery, marine, and outdoor applications.
