What Is a Clevis Pin?
A clevis pin is a type of fastener, specifically a split pin, used primarily to secure cylinder fittings.
This pin is integral to the clevis fitting, a unique type of fastening mechanism that relies on a clevis pin instead of a standard bolt or nut for secure attachment. Clevis pins are widely used in various fields, including automotive, industrial machinery, construction equipment, and furniture design.
The key characteristic of a clevis pin is its split-pin design, which ensures a strong and secure connection within clevis fittings. Once used, these pins are typically not reusable. The selection of the appropriate clevis pin, considering specific requirements and environmental conditions, is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the assembly.
