Clevis Pins are a type of fastener that will allow the
rotation or swivel of the connected parts about the axis of the pin linkage.
A clevis pin, sometimes reffered to as a link pin or
hinge pin, consists of a head, shank and hole. When using a fastening, such
as a clevis pin, the hole which is at the opposite end of the pin to the
head is inserted through the items to be linked, and then a cotter pin,
R clip or similar fastener is inserted through the hole to keep the the
clevis pin in place.
Like a set screw, a clevis pin is often used to prevent
two other pieces from moving relative to each other, A clevis pin is less
adjustable, in that it can hold two parts in exactly one relative position
(because holes must be drilled in both parts) A clevis pin is also more
secure, as it is less apt to work loose due to vibration.
From backpacking and sail boating to military and aerospace
engineering. Clevis pins are indispensable items for securing equipment.
