Cotter pin for American Crane 9310

The 810531 cotter pin is a mechanical fastener used to secure various assemblies within the crane. Measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 1-1/4 inches in length, this component acts as a locking device for clevis pins and slotted nuts. By inserting the pin through a pre-drilled hole and spreading its legs, it creates a positive lock that prevents the primary fastener from vibrating loose during crane operation.

This part is compatible with American Crane 9310 and 9299 models. It is frequently utilized in critical connection points throughout the crane structure to maintain the integrity of joints and linkages. Proper installation ensures that pins and shafts remain securely seated within their respective housings, which is necessary for the safe operation of heavy lifting equipment.

Cotter pins are standard hardware used across many mechanical systems to provide a simple yet effective way to lock fasteners in place. They are designed to be easily installed and removed during routine maintenance, allowing technicians to access and service the underlying components quickly. Regular inspection of these pins is standard practice to ensure they remain in place and continue to provide the required retention for the machine's mechanical systems.
