Description
R-Clip 3.0mm G304 Stainless Steel fittings are non-rated. They are also described also known as an R-pin, R-key, hairpin cotter pin, hairpin cotter, bridge pin, hitch pin clip or spring cotter pin, is a fastener made of a durable but flexible material – in this case G304 Stainless Steel. However Zinc Plated Steel versions are available as well. The material is commonly hardened metal wire, resembling the shape of the letter “R”. R-clips are similar in function to split pins and linchpins. Compared to split pins, they are easier to remove and are re-usable.
Usage: The R-Clip 3.0mm G304 Stainless Steel fittings exist in a range of sizes. 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 semicircular “belly” in the middle of the other, bent leg of the R-clip grips one side of the shaft resisting any force removing 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 and opens the “belly” mouth enough to pass the widest part of the shaft as the R-clip is inserted. Low Cost Wire Stainless Steel R-Clips suit light rigging and other project applications. Their form accommodates most types of threaded rod and bolts. Note that these fittings are NOT for lifting purposes.
