iMTSP Split Pin Silver M1.66 × 40 mm

iMTSP Split Pin Silver M1.66 × 40 mm

iMTSP Split Pin is a durable mechanical fastener designed for securing compatible nuts, bolts, clevis pins and other mechanical components. Its split-leg design allows convenient insertion through a retaining hole, after which the two legs can be bent apart to prevent the fastener from loosening during operation.

Manufactured from quality metal and supplied in a silver finish, this split pin is suitable for mechanical, automotive, industrial, agricultural machinery and general hardware applications. Its nominal size is M1.66 × 40 mm.

Split pins are commonly used as secondary retaining devices in assemblies that require a simple and dependable locking arrangement. The correct pin size must always be selected according to the retaining-hole diameter and equipment specifications.

How to Select the Correct Split Pin

1. Measure the diameter of the retaining hole accurately.
2. Check the required pin length and available clearance.
3. Verify the equipment manufacturer’s specified fastener size.
4. Select a pin that enters the hole without excessive force or looseness.
5. Ensure enough leg length remains for proper bending after insertion.

Size note: The supplied product specification uses the term M1.66. Because split pins are normally unthreaded, confirm whether this value represents the nominal pin diameter before ordering.

Installation Instructions

1. Switch off and secure the machine or assembly before working on it.
2. Align the holes in the nut, bolt, clevis pin or shaft.
3. Insert the closed end of the split pin through the aligned hole.
4. Push the pin through until the eye rests near the entry point.
5. Bend the two legs apart to lock the pin securely.
6. Check that the pin cannot move out during operation.

Safety and Maintenance Guidance

• Use the correct size recommended for the mechanical assembly.
• Do not force an oversized pin through the retaining hole.
• Replace pins that are bent incorrectly, cracked, worn or corroded.
• Do not reuse a pin if bending has weakened or damaged its legs.
• Keep hands clear of sharp pin ends and mechanical pinch points.
• Wear gloves and suitable eye protection during installation.
• Confirm the pin is locked properly before operating the equipment.
• Do not use for lifting or load-bearing purposes unless specifically approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the size of this iMTSP Split Pin?

The supplied size is M1.66 × 40 mm, with a length of 40 mm.

What is this split pin used for?

It is used to secure compatible nuts, bolts, clevis pins and other mechanical fasteners to help prevent loosening.

Is a split pin threaded?

No. A standard split pin is an unthreaded fastener. The M1.66 specification should therefore be verified as the nominal diameter or product size.

Can it be used in agricultural machinery?

Yes, it may be used in compatible mechanical linkages and assemblies in agricultural machinery when the dimensions meet the equipment requirements.

Can the split pin be reused?

Replacement after removal is generally the safer practice because repeated bending can weaken the metal. Never reuse a damaged or deformed pin.

How many pins are included?

The supplied information mentions both 50-piece and 100-piece packs. Confirm the actual quantity shown for the selected product before ordering.

Disclaimer: Confirm the exact diameter, length, material suitability and pack quantity before purchase. Always follow the machinery or equipment manufacturer’s fastener and safety recommendations.
