Cotter Pin
Bendix

This cotter pin serves as a simple, cost‑effective locking element used to secure clevis pins, shafts, or other rotating components by passing through aligned holes and bending to prevent withdrawal. Although simple in form, it plays a critical role in maintaining safe, reliable operation of linkages, steering components, and brake actuators, especially in high‑vibration environments common to heavy‑duty applications. The part contributes to quick field maintenance, enabling rapid disassembly for inspection or replacement and reassembly with minimal downtime. To maximize effectiveness, technicians inspect for bending, straightness, and wear during preventive maintenance and replace worn pins to preserve alignment and safety. In the catalog this item is cataloged under the VMRS code 053-007-017 and sits within the 42848 category, aligning with other hardware and fasteners essential to fluid‑handling and mechanical assemblies. While dimensions are not specified in this entry, cotter pins are standardized across fleets to ensure broad interchangeability and predictable performance across diverse OEMs and service programs.
