Cotter Pin

The Mecalac Cotter Pin (OEM 227-8) is a replacement split pin designed for use on compatible Mecalac, Terex and Benford site dumpers. It provides positive mechanical retention for pins, clevises, washers and other linked components, helping prevent them from working loose during normal machine operation.

The 227-8 cotter pin measures 1/16 x 7/8 inch and is used within mechanical linkage and brake assemblies on compatible Terex and Benford dumpers. Its simple split-pin design allows it to be inserted through a drilled hole and secured by spreading the two legs, providing a dependable retaining solution for components exposed to vibration and repeated movement.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Provides positive mechanical retention of pins and linked components.
• Passes through a drilled hole before the legs are spread to secure it in position.
• Helps prevent components from loosening or moving out of position during operation.
• Suitable for mechanical linkage and braking applications.
• Provides a direct replacement for a missing, damaged or removed original split pin.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The 227-8 split pin is used as a positive retaining device within mechanical assemblies and should normally be replaced rather than reused once removed. Correct retention is particularly important in brake and control linkages, where excessive movement or loss of a retaining pin can affect the operation of the associated mechanism.

Always check the OEM number and machine model before ordering to ensure the correct replacement cotter pin is selected. The 227-8 is specifically listed as a 1/16 x 7/8 inch pin and should not be confused with other 227-series cotter pins available in different sizes.
