Retention Pins Set Högert Technik HT8G504 — 555 pieces, straight cotter pins

Set of straight cotter pins by Högert Technik HT8G504 contains 555 identical straight retention pins designed for securing clevis pins, shafts and small linkages in repair and assembly tasks. The kit supplies a large quantity of uniform pins suitable for repetitive use in workshops, automotive maintenance, agricultural equipment service and home DIY projects where a simple, removable mechanical locking element is needed. The straight design ensures easy insertion and removal while providing reliable retention when installed correctly.

Advantages

The set offers a high-piece count for frequent use and reduces the need to source individual pins. Straight cotter pins provide straightforward installation and removal with minimal tools, and their uniform size simplifies inventory and part selection. The pins are suitable for repetitive workshop operations and provide predictable mechanical locking performance when matched to the correct hole diameter and shaft geometry.

Suitable for

• Securing clevis and split pins in mechanical linkages
• Locking shafts, axles and pivot points in light machinery
• Routine automotive and agricultural equipment maintenance
• Workshop assembly tasks and DIY repairs

Key specifications

• Quantity: 555 pieces
• Type: straight cotter / retention pins
• Design: straight, single-piece pins for removable locking
• Typical applications: mechanical fastening of clevis pins, shafts and linkages
• Packaging: bulk set suitable for workshop storage

How to use

Select a pin diameter that matches the hole in the clevis or shaft. Insert the straight pin through the mating hole so that it passes the shaft or clevis and protrudes on the opposite side. If required by the application, bend the protruding end slightly or secure with an additional retaining clip to prevent axial movement. For removal, straighten any bent ends and pull the pin out using pliers or an extraction tool. Ensure pins are installed flush with the mating parts and are free from heavy corrosion or deformation before reuse.

Usage recommendations

Match pin diameter to the hole size and check material condition before reuse. Use appropriate protective equipment when installing or removing pins and replace any pins showing significant wear, corrosion, or deformation to maintain secure mechanical connections.
