R Clips
(Retaining Pins)
High Quality Single Coil Retaining Pins / Also Known As Cotter Pins
R-clips are commonly used to secure the ends of round shafts such as axles and clevis pins.
The straight leg of the R-clip is pushed into a hole near one end of the shaft until the semi-circular "Belly" in the middle of the other bent leg of the R-clip grips one side of the shaft, resisting any force trying to remove the R-clip from its hole.
To assist insertion the end of the bent leg is angled away from the straight leg.
This angled end rides the side of the shaft & opens the "belly" mouth enough to pass the widest part of the shaft as the R-clip is inserted.
All R Clips Conform to DIN 11024 Fully threaded
