I'm dead in the water with a broken shear pin.

The same goes for a part found on many machines known as a "shear pin."

A shear pin could potentially be made from any material although metal is the most common.

A typical example is using shear pins in an explosive device.

The damage was trivial; a shear pin in the transmission had given way.

A shear pin held the round to the rod.

Shear pins are only useful for a single operating cycle, after each operation they have to be replaced.

With luck he could install the shear pin and be up and running in a couple of minutes.

A shear pin in an engine is designed to fracture with a specific magnitude of shock.

Protected against heavy shocks by way of shear pins.

In this way, the failure of the shear pin will physically separate the aircraft and the tractor.

Boaters should carry extra shear pins and a spare propeller.

A shear pin on the machine prevents damage as the testing material stiffens.

A shear pin gives a distinct threshold for the force required for operation.

Carry emergency and safety equipment, extra shear pins and propeller.

It appears to function properly but is missing the engaging lever, shear pins and drive shift.

Conveyor sprockets are also available in double pitch and shear pin varieties.

The lock is fitted onto the running tool and attached using shear pins made of brass or steel.

Split pins may be used in some applications as low-tech shear pins.

The pushback continued, but the towbar became disconnected from the tug due to a failed shear pin.

During pushback, the aircraft came to an abrupt halt and the shear pin on the towbar broke.

This compresses nine coil springs and shears two brass shear pins.

A shear pin release provides built in protection against harmonic vibration and possible torque overload.

The towbar has a shear pin.

For example, a hydraulic dampener protecting a structure from earthquake damage could be secured with a shear pin.
