Cotter pin for American Crane 9310

The 804890 cotter pin is a mechanical fastener measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length. It is specifically designed for the American Crane 9310 to ensure that primary fasteners remain secure during operation. This component is typically installed through a pre-drilled hole in a shaft, bolt, or castle nut, after which its legs are spread to prevent the fastener from backing out or loosening due to machine vibration.

This cotter pin is compatible with the American Crane 9310 model. It functions as a secondary locking mechanism in various linkage points and pivot assemblies throughout the crane. By providing a positive lock for critical hardware, this pin prevents the accidental detachment of components. Proper installation involves inserting the pin through the designated hole and bending the legs in opposite directions to secure the assembly. Regular inspection of these pins is standard practice during maintenance to ensure the integrity of the connections they protect.
