Using adjusting shims is a practical solution. You can adjust the position of the open pin hole and nut groove by adding a thin copper sheet or steel paper washer under the nut to align it. This approach is simple and widely applicable, suitable for most situations.
The steps for fixing slotted nuts with open-end pins are as follows:
Preliminary fixation: Firstly, tighten the slotted nut onto the required component.
Insert the split pin: Next, pass the split pin through the small hole at the end of the bolt and the groove of the nut.
Lock the opening pin: Finally, bend the tail end of the opening pin to tightly adhere to the side of the nut, ensuring that the nut is stable and avoiding loosening.
The above method can effectively solve the problem of misalignment between slotted nuts and slotted pin holes.
