GB91 Carbon Steel Split Pin
GB91 carbon steel split pin is a standard mechanical locking fastener designed to secure bolts, nuts, and pin connections in machinery and structural assemblies. The GB91 carbon steel split pin is widely used in automotive systems, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial installations where vibration resistance and safety locking are required.
With its simple yet reliable structure, the GB91 carbon steel split pin provides a cost-effective solution for preventing loosening of fastened joints. It is inserted through a pre-drilled hole and bent after installation to achieve secure mechanical locking.

Product Overview
The GB91 carbon steel split pin is engineered as a safety locking component for mechanical assemblies. It ensures that critical fasteners such as clevis pins and castellated nuts remain securely in place under vibration and load conditions.
This GB91 carbon steel split pin is widely used in equipment requiring quick installation and reliable anti-loosening performance. Its flexible structure allows easy bending and removal, making it suitable for maintenance-friendly systems.
As a widely used industrial fastener, it plays a key safety role in preventing accidental disassembly in mechanical systems.
