FAQ
Q1: What is the purpose of a cotter pin?
A cotter pin (split pin) is used to secure fasteners such as nuts, clevis pins, and bolts, preventing them from loosening due to vibration or movement.
Q2: Why choose 304 stainless steel cotter pins?
304 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance, making the cotter pin durable even in marine, humid, or outdoor environments.
Q3: Can the cotter pin be reused?
Cotter pins are generally designed for one-time use because bending weakens the metal. For safety, replacement is recommended after removal.
Q4: Do you offer sizes other than M5/M6?
Yes. Standard and customized sizes are available upon request to meet different application needs.
