{"product_id":"split-pins-stainless-steel-316","title":"SPLIT PINS STAINLESS STEEL 316","description":"\u003cp\u003e316-grade stainless steel split pins are primarily used as fail-safe locking devices to prevent mechanical components from coming loose due to vibration or movement. They are the \"gold standard\" for applications in harsh or saltwater environments because their molybdenum content provides superior resistance to rust and pitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Mechanical Functions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecuring Castle (Castellated) Nuts:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common use is to lock a nut on a threaded shaft. The pin passes through a hole in the bolt and between the \"teeth\" of the nut, ensuring it cannot unscrew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetaining Clevis Pins:\u003c\/strong\u003e They are used to hold unthreaded pins (clevis pins) in place within a joint or linkage, preventing the main pin from sliding out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxle and Wheel Retention:\u003c\/strong\u003e They frequently secure wheels or hubs onto an axle, acting as a simple but reliable mechanical stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Industry Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarine \u0026amp; Sailing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Essential for securing sailboat rigging (turnbuckles, stays), deck hardware (shackles, winches), and propellers.
