Split Pins Split pins are frequently used to secure other fasteners, e.g. clevis pins. A common application of this is when used to secure a castellated nut. Once inserted, the two ends of the pin are bent apart, locking it in place. Note: Split pins are used in machine construction and automotive engineering as retaining elements. They are often used for securing castle nuts. After the split pin is pushed through a hole, the ends are bent over to ensure a secure lock. The split pin can be shortened. As a rule, the split pin should be roughly double the length of the hole. As the material structure can weaken through bending and straightening, the split pins should not be reused after they have been removed from the hole. Dimensions: 5X80mm Package contains: 10 pieces
