SPLIT PINS DIMENSIONS

Split Pin Sizes and Dimensions Chart according to ISO 1234:1997 - " Split Pins " standard for metric split pins.

The split pins are intended for use with clevis pins and in pinned bolt and nut assemblies or other type of free fitting pinned assemblies in general applications.

Some important notes from the ISO 1234:1997:

- Materials: Steel, copper - zinc alloy, copper, aluminum alloy, austenitic stainless steel.

- Each leg of the split pin shall be capable of withstanding being bent back upon itself once, with no visible indication of fracture occurring at the point of bend.

- The eye shall be as circular as possible. The cross-section of the two straight legs together shall be circular.

Definitions:

Clevis Pin: A type of cylindrical pin with a head at one end and with a hole passes through the diameter at the other end. A clevis pin is generally locked in place with a split pin. Clevis pins provide rotation between connected components about pin axis.
