Split pins are simple and no-load components. Split pins secure stubs and castle-nuts against spontaneous falling out or release. The R-clips that we offer are either SINGLE or DOUBLE. These R-clips work on the principle of the hair pin. They do not get released spontaneously as they bind half of the secured cross-section due to their flexibility. GUFERO split pins are manufactured from high quality spring steel and can therefore easily be used in joints that can be dismantled (sometimes several times a day). The cross-section of the steel wire of the split pin is circular.
Lock pins, also known as linch pins are used in the same way as split pins for securing dismountable piping connections. In this menu, you will find lock pins with a ring (linch pins with a ring) or lock pins for tubes (linch pins for tubes).
GUFERO R-clips are a well-known type of split pin where no bending is necessary. R-clips are manufactured from high quality elastic steel. Due to their profile, R-clips look like the letter R, this type of R-clips are therefore sometimes called R-clips. The shape of the spring pin encompasses half of the cross-section of the stub and thus prevents it from falling out. Unlike bent wire split pins, the cross-section of R-clips is circular and there is therefore no need to rove two ends through the stub. This type of split pin can be mainly used for frequently dismantled connections, such as connections in trailers and equipment for tractors and industrial machines. GUFERO R-clips are manufactured in accordance with the DIN 11024 production standard which guarantees both the high quality of the spring pin material and adherence to required dimensions. R-clips are available in two versions. The SINGLE version R-clips consist of a single eye, locking pin and a semicircular socket. The DOUBLE version R-clips have a double eye at the end. This secures higher elasticity of the steel and in general provides the spring pin with greater strength. We supply R-clips for locking wire with dimensions of 1.4 - 8 mm. A great quantity of R-clips is therefore available at all times. The R-clips are supplied in two versions - zinc plated and stainless steel.
The function of linch pins differs greatly from the function of R-clips. The locking pin of the linch pin is much more robust in comparison to the rest of the structure. A wire made from elastic steel in the shape of a circle is embedded in the pin whereby the pin is secured to the stub. As follows from the principle of the design, linch pins (locking pins) can only be used on the ends of stubs and are not possible to use for connecting tubes. Straight linch pins are often used for frequently dismantled securing assemblies because they offer the best combination with regards to ease of installation and the strength of the locking system. This type of linch pin is manufactured according to the DIN 11023 standard which guarantees that the linch pin fulfils all requirements. Straight linch pins are available in both zinc plated and stainless steel versions. This type of linch pin is supplied in the sizes 4.5 - 11 mm. You can rest assured you will find the size you need.
These linch pins are similar to straight linch pins. The design of the linch pins for tubes is very similar to that of the straight linch pins. The only difference is that the locking wire is not circular in shape but a double semi-circle. The selection of this shape for the securing of the linch pin for tubes allows this type of linch pin to be used for connecting long tubes (such as scaffolding) which need to be dismantled. The manufacture of this type of linch pins is dictated by the DIN 11023 standard. We supply linch pins for tubes with pin diameters of 6 - 11 mm. The linch pins for tubes are manufactured in either zinc plated or stainless steel versions so that they always have an excellent resistance to weathering and thermal influences.
