Everything about Shear Pin totally explained
A
shear pin is the mechanical analogue of an
electric fuse. Installed in a
drive train, it's designed to break in the case of a mechanical overload, preventing other, more-expensive parts of the drive train from being damaged.
A shear pin may be plain
metal rod inserted through a hub and axle; the diameter of the rod is carefully chosen to allow the shearing action when the desired breakaway load is reached. A
cotter pin may also be used as a low-tech shear pin.
A common use of shear pins is in the drive train of a
snow blower's auger or the
propellers attached to marine engines.
