XB-16
Cotter Pin, 1/8 in
SAF-Holland

An exacting locking fastener designed to secure critical assemblies through a drilled hole, often in conjunction with a castellated nut. The slender body balances strength and ease of handling. Key dimensions are pin diameter 0.12 in and effective length 1 in, which dictate bore size, hole fit, and security under vibration. The feature-set positions this item as a component across SAF-Holland platforms, ensuring positive retention, simple field inspection, and straightforward removal when disassembly is required. The pin resists shear and elongation when installed with proper alignment, providing reliable lockup for axles, suspension components, and hitch hardware. Applications include securing fasteners on steering and brake linkages, ensuring rotating or oscillating parts stay aligned under load. The long service life is supported by standard steel composition and corrosion resistance choices common for outdoor use. Cross references are not listed, but fit is validated by hole size and tolerance in the corresponding hardware kit. Routine maintenance involves verifying the pin remains fully seated and intact, and replacing any signs of bending, cracking, or wear to prevent loosening of critical assemblies.
