Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Spec — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact dimensional tolerances for this 3/32" x 2" cotter pin, ensuring correct fit and holding strength in the intended application.
- Drop-In Installation — Sized to fit the corresponding pin bore without modification, allowing straightforward field replacement during routine service or breakdown repair.
- Confirmed Fitment for MQ Mixers — Validated for use on MQ Mixer models, so you can order with confidence knowing part number 491685 is the correct specification for your machine.
- Secure Fastening Under Load — A correctly installed cotter pin locks pins and shafts in position during mixer operation, preventing unwanted movement of connected components under working loads.
- Safety-Critical Retention — Cotter pins are a primary safeguard against shaft and pin walk-out during operation; using the correct OEM size ensures the retention holds as designed and does not fail prematurely.
A cotter pin is a small split-pin fastener inserted through a drilled hole in a shaft or bolt to lock a component — such as a clevis pin, axle pin, or linkage rod — firmly in place. On a concrete mixer, cotter pins are used at key pivot and retention points to prevent pins from backing out during the vibration and rotation of normal operation. When a cotter pin is missing, bent, or incorrectly sized, the pin it secures can shift or disengage, leading to loose linkages or component separation that interrupts work and can create a safety hazard.
