Cotter pin for Ingersoll Rand machinery

The cotter pin, part number 95985479, serves as a mechanical locking device used to secure various assemblies within Ingersoll Rand machinery. It is designed to be inserted through a hole in a shaft, bolt, or clevis pin to prevent fasteners from backing off or shifting under vibration or operational load. By maintaining the integrity of these connections, the component ensures that critical machine parts remain properly positioned during use.

This fastener is compatible with a wide range of Ingersoll Rand industrial equipment, including air compressors and pneumatic systems. It functions by being inserted into a pre-drilled hole and having its prongs bent outward to lock the assembly. Regular inspection of these pins is standard maintenance to prevent the accidental loss of hardware, which could otherwise lead to the failure of larger mechanical systems. Proper installation ensures that linkages and pivot points remain secure throughout the service life of the machine.
