Description of the beta spring pin

The beta spring pin takes its name from its shape, which looks like the Greek letter beta. This safety part’s role is to tightly fit another part of a mechanical assembly. As a matter of fact, as a pin, on mounted parts, it has a shearing action when the device is exposed to huge pressure or overload.

Specificities of the pin-type beta

Used mainly in the automotive industry, the beta spring pin belongs to the elastic springs’ family. It is often used to tighten classic and castellated nuts. Unlike the cotter pin, the beta pin has the advantage of being reusable after removal of all mechanical parts.

Thus, the safety pin is required, among other things, to clamp a car’s axle transmission pins mounting and to assemble and fasten a farm equipment’s parts.
