Definition

The “Pin de seguridad 0000021623” is a genuine OEM shear bolt or safety pin, a critical mechanical fuse designed for overload protection in Claas balers. The Spanish name “Pin de seguridad” translates directly to “Safety Pin,” indicating its primary protective function.

Function and Role

This component’s primary role is to safeguard the baler’s driveline and other critical mechanisms from damage caused by sudden jams or excessive torque. Its functions are:

• Overload Protection: It is engineered to be the weakest link in a specific drive train, such as the plunger or pick-up reel drive. When a jam occurs or torque exceeds a safe limit, the pin is designed to shear (break) instantly.

• System Deactivation: By shearing, the pin immediately disconnects the power transmission to the affected mechanism. This action halts the operation of that specific assembly, preventing the transfer of destructive forces through the machine.

• Damage Prevention: This sacrificial failure protects more valuable and complex components, such as gearboxes, drivelines, and shafts, from suffering catastrophic and expensive damage, thereby minimizing repair costs and downtime.
