R, Lynch & Shaft Pins from Ovesco

R Pins (also called R Clips, R Keys, Hairpin Cotter Pins, Spring Cotter Pins, Hitch Pins and Bridge Pins) are popular for securing the ends of round shafts such as clevis pins, tow balls and axles. They are named after their distinctive shape, which resembles a capital "R".

Bow Tie Clips (also known as Bow Tie Cotter Pins) are designed for use where there is a higher risk of vibration. Their bow tie shape helps prevent the clip from falling off under load.

Shaft Lock Pins (sometimes called Shaft Locking Pins or Retaining D Clips) are used to secure shafts in agricultural and industrial equipment. They provide added resistance against loosening or vibration.

Lynch Pins (also spelled linch pins) are used to secure shafts and couplings. The straight section of the lynch pin is inserted into a pre-drilled hole, while the circular spring section snaps over the shaft to hold it in place. These are common in trailers, machinery and heavy-duty vehicles.

Contractors, farmers and fleet operators rely on these different fasteners, from small lynch pins to heavy-duty shaft locking pins stainless steel, to keep equipment secure and parts reliably locked in place.
