Description
Overview:
The 7/16" (11.1 mm) Shaft Locking Wire Loop Pin, often used as a rotovator clip, is a robust fastening component for agricultural, construction, and grounds-care machinery. Made from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance, it holds components in place under vibration and heavy use while allowing fast, tool-free release when required. The total pin length is 107 mm (4.21 inches), excluding the head, with a shank that measures approximately 100 mm long by 10 mm in diameter. The spring wire loop snaps positively over the shank to prevent accidental pull-out and to keep linkages, clevis joints, and drawbars secure. It is suitable for tasks where repeat coupling and uncoupling are common, such as attaching implements, securing frames, or retaining axles and pivots on plant, tractors, rotovators, and similar equipment.
Key Features:
- Zinc-plated steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in wet, muddy, or salted environments
- Positive wire-loop action for reliable retention without tools
- Quick to fit and remove, even with gloves, supporting efficient changeovers
- Total pin length 107 mm (4.21 inches), excluding head, for ample engagement
- Shank approx. 100 mm length x 10 mm diameter to suit common brackets and clevises
- Nominal 7/16" (11.1 mm) application for typical agricultural and plant hardware
- Smooth, durable finish reduces wear on mating components and aids insertion
- Reusable, heavy-duty design suitable for frequent coupling/uncoupling cycles
- Bright plated finish helps visibility when locating the pin in low light
Typical Applications:
Retaining implement linkages on tractors and rotovators, securing drawbars and towing attachments, locking clevis joints on construction machinery, holding guard frames and covers, fixing axles or pivot points on trailers and yard equipment, and general-purpose retention on cultivators, mowers, aerators, and compact plant where a secure yet quickly removable pin is needed.
Also known as:
Safety pin, linchpin, quick-release pin, hitch pin, retaining pin, wire-lock pin, tractor clip, implement clip, drawbar clip, lynch pin/lynchpin, linkage clip.
