A shear pin is a mechanical component intended to enable a particular result to happen when a force is applied. It can serve as a safety measure well-intended to fail to protect other components or as a conditional operator that prevents a mechanical device from working until the proper force is well-provided. A shear pin serves as a safety measure by being a safety mechanism to shear in the event of a mechanical overload, protecting other, more expensive, or difficult-to-replace parts. It is comparable to an electric fuse in terms of a mechanical sacrifice component. A shear pin's material is well-chosen and treated to make it somewhat fatigue resistant. In other words, the pin does not sustain damage when subjected to modest forces that are each insufficient to break the pin.
