A cartridge dust collector is a model of dust collector that is ideal for purifying air loaded with fine or highly dense dust particles. Cartridge dust collectors are compact and are characterized by a large surface area and can be operated at a lower pressure drop unlike their counterparts, shaker collectors and pulse jet collectors. Cartridge dust collectors are further sub-divided into vertical cartridges and horizontal cartridges. The large surface area of the collector increases air flow, lessens cleansing frequency, and lowers resistance. They are employed in industrial powder applications involving lower air flow.

A cartridge check valve is a type of check valve that has the closing element in a removable cartridge for ease of repair and replacement as only the cartridge need be replaced, not the valve housing.

A cotter pin, also referred to as a split pin or a cotter key, belongs to the category of metal fasteners, and features a pair of tines that are bent during their set up process, an aspect similar to a rivet or staple. They are predominantly used to affix other fasteners such as clevis pins. They seldom serve as low-tech shear pins in some applications. Generally fabricated from very soft metal to ensure their easy installation and removal, these pins; however are rendered feeble against strong shear forces due to the make.
