cotter pin size vs. shaft size
cotter pin size vs. shaft size
(OP)
hello - today at our place i was called out because i used a 5mm dia. cotter pin & washer on the end of a 40mm dia. shaft - i was told our shop overseas could not turn the ends up like a normal small cotter pin - i was told from now on not to use a cotter pin size that you could not use pliers to bend the ends up - i was wondering if there is a table w/ cotter p0in sizes vs. shaft size - it was used to only keep the washer in place & the shaft from moving from side to side - i would have used retaining rings but i get called out on that too because of the expense of machining - any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you

Cotter Pin Diameter << Shaft Diameter and Cotter Pin Strength > Load on Cotter Pin
I doubt that you will find a pre-designed cheat sheet with any engineering basis to it.

For those not familiar with German language:
Splintloch ∅ = Cotter pin hole diameter
Schrauben ∅ = Bolt / screw diameter
Bolzen ∅ = Pin diameter

Try taking away the pliers and give them a hammer and cold-chisel.

I.e. since there is a limited functional requirement, I'd allow manufacturing concerns drive the sizing.

Pretty much. Does anybody have a copy of DIN 94 or ISO 1234 on hand to give duk748 more ammo?
