Rigging Pins are largely (in shorter lengths) a less costly alternative to
Clevis Pins,
commonly used in covered applications such as Masthead
Sheave Axle Pins.
Primary modern usage is as Clevis Pins,
but in applications where longer individualized lengths are impractical, and in those
rare applications where the Pin should be removable from either side.
Rigging Pins are measured by Diameter and Grip Length, a given
Diameter is available in a variety of Grip lengths.
Grip Length is the maximum length between 2 installed
Cotter Pins. While a longer than ideal
length may be used in some applications, proper sizing keeps dangerous protrusions and
weight to a minimum.
Listed below are commonly stocked Rigging Pins, normally secured with
Cotter Pins (Split Pins).
Part numbers are as Clevis Pins (diameter in 1/16's, lengths in 1/32's),
meaning that a RP8-64 can be substituted for a CP8-64 (and vice versa).
If you require a Rigging Pin not listed here, please contact us specifying
dimensions (Diameter & Grip Length), material (Stainless Steel, Bronze, Titanium, etc.),
and application. If not in stock, we produce many Custom Rigging Pins and can quote them
on a Custom basis.
