Toggle Pin

A toggle pin is a fastening pin with a hinged or spring-loaded mechanism that locks it in place. It is used for quick assembly and release of components.

A toggle pin passes through aligned holes to hold two parts together and allow a pivot. It often takes a split pin, an R pin or a lock pin to keep it in place. A hammer or a drift can set or remove it.

Toggle pins are often made in steel or stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The material choice depends on the load and environment.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance that states the material and dimensions. On receipt, check the pin for smooth operation and any signs of wear.
