🔌 Function

Locks or retains a component in its assembled position, so it cannot move, turn or work loose in service.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Pin missing altogether, or found partly backed out of its hole
• Legs corroded, cracked or broken off, leaving only a stub in the hole
• The nut, clevis or fork able to be moved by hand, or bright witness marks showing it has been turning
• The pin hole worn oval or the pin bent and burred from taking load it was never meant to take
• Heavy corrosion around the pin, with staining or seizure at the joint it secures

🛠️ Service Notes

• Always fit a new split pin; a pin that has been opened and closed once has work-hardened and its legs will break off in service
• Use the pin size specified for the hole so it fills it without slack — an undersized pin lets the nut or clevis move and will wear through
• Pass the pin fully through, then bend the legs firmly around the nut or shaft so nothing can catch on them, and trim them back rather than leaving long ends
• Check that the castellated nut, clevis or fork is at its correct setting before the pin goes in — the pin locks the setting, it does not create it
• Inspect the hole and the surrounding component for wear and elongation from a previously loose or missing pin
