Parameters 

Application

Split pins are typically used to fasten a shaft or similar component in place. Split pins can also be used to keep machinery aligned.

The pin is placed through a hole and the prongs (or tines) of the pin can then be bent to hold the pin in place. You may need a set of pliers or additional tools to help you bend the tines. The tines can also be cut down to size before installation. This can prevent any snagging injuries from occurring in future.

Split pins are similar to staples in that they are a temporary, light duty fastening. Split pins can be used as a fastener in their own right or combined with other types of fastenings such as clevis pins.
