FAQs
What material are these R clips made from?
These R clips are made from carbon steel.
What is the primary purpose of an R clip?
An R clip, also known as a spring clip or linchpin clip, is used to secure pins, such as clevis pins or cotter pins, in place and prevent them from coming loose.
What are the dimensions of these R clips?
They have a wire diameter of 2mm and a working length of 43mm.
How many R clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 50 R clips.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may still affect them over time.
Can these be used for heavy-duty applications?
These R clips are designed for general mechanical use and securing pins. They are not intended for heavy-duty load-bearing applications where specialized fasteners are required.
How do I ensure the clip stays in place?
Once inserted through the pin, bend the two legs of the R clip outwards firmly. This creates tension and prevents the clip from vibrating loose.
Troubleshooting
R clip is difficult to bend
Ensure you are using the correct size R clip for the pin. If it's still stiff, a gentle application of lubricant on the bending point might help, but avoid lubricants that attract excessive dirt.
R clip does not feel secure
Verify that the legs of the R clip are sufficiently bent outwards. Ensure the R clip is correctly sized for the pin and the mating hole. If the pin or hole is worn, consider replacing the pin.
R clip shows signs of rust
While corrosion-resistant, some surface rust may appear over long periods or in highly corrosive environments. Remove surface rust with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil if the part will be exposed. For critical applications, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Select an R clip from the pack.
- Insert the shaft of the R clip through the hole in the clevis pin or cotter pin.
- Bend the two legs of the R clip outwards to secure it in place. Ensure the legs are firmly bent to prevent accidental dislodging.
Compatibility:
- These R clips are designed for pins with a diameter that allows the 2mm wire clip to pass through the pin's eyelet and the corresponding hole in the shaft.
- The working length of 43mm is suitable for pins and shafts where this much material needs to be secured.
- Primarily compatible with clevis pins, cotter pins, and other similar pivot pins.
Care:
- While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme environments may degrade the finish over time.
- Clean with a dry cloth if dust or debris accumulates.
- Store in a dry place to maximize lifespan.
